Connecting to Administration Console Remotely

Question

We have installed Dev Media Server in preparation of
installing the full Interactive Media Server version. I am having a
problem connecting to the administrative tool. I can only connect
to it by going to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server
3\fms_adminConsole.htm
on the local box, but f I go to
http://localhost:1111/
Which is what the instructions say to do, I get the following
error (I am never shown the login form):
<result>
<level>error</level>
<code>NetConnection.Connect.Rejected</code>
<description>Admin user requires valid username and
password.</description>
<timestamp>12/4/2008 11:44:59 AM</timestamp>
</result>
I have searched the Knowledge Base and did not find anything.
Operating System: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
Browser: Microsoft IE
Any thoughts?

Answer 1

I'm building a developmental server as well, but building it
on a Red Hat 5 server. Nevertheless, if you just open your browser
on the server and go to 'open file' and navigate down to the flash
file instead of the HTML document you should be in good shape. Not
sure where it is on Windows, but on linux it's located at:
/opt/adobe/fms/fms_adminConsole.swf
I just moved this flash file to another machine (my laptop)
and can open the administration pane for my FMS server. Keeps you
from having to jump back and forth. Open that right up in your
browser and you should be golden.
