FMS 4.0 recordings Linux permissions

I'm using a Flash Media Server 4.0 developer on Linux.
it required to be installed as root, so this is how its installed.
my application create file captures on the server via publish "record".
file captured are created, but with limited permissions as user "nobody".
is there a way to change the created directory and files permissions as they are created?
Thanks,
Ofer

well when I change permissions on a directory i use chmod 777 this is not the most secure directory permissions but should work. chown also comes in handy. Are you sure you have FMS installed and working on linux? Because if you don't know how to change directory permissions from the terminal then I would tend to doubt you have it installed correctly.Then again I've been wrong before.

  • How to force authenication to stream live content FMS Interactive Server on Linux

    We purchased Flash Media Streaming Server Interactive edition in order to have the security featuers of not allowing unauthorized connections streaming live content to the server.
    Is there a document with procedures that details how to make this happen, the allowedHTMLdomains.txt does not work when you place in IP ranges that you do not want connecting.
    I need some help just to figure out a way to keep someoen from connecting to the server and not streaming live content.
    Has anyone configured this in Linux because the documentation is mainly for Windows.
    Any help/advice would be great since this seems to be a common problem for anyone who runs Linux.

    The FMS server does not the livepkgr application as its default. There is no default application as such.
    FMS server installer comes with few applications to make it easier to get started, the four applications live, vod , multicast and livepkgr , each one of these applications trying to give an easy way of implementing the different scenarios.
    live and vod are the basic RTMP live and vod cases, while multicast gives a sample implementation for RTMFP and P2P cases, livepkgr is the sample for HDS / HLS cases using HTTP Dynamic Streaming and HTTP Live Streaming for iOS devices. None of these are default, and all of them can be made use of , depending on your scenario.
    Each of these applications have the necessary files within its folder, a main.asc file that has the server side script which can include some business logic or authentication stuff (its not mandatory to have any of these files, that means, a blank folder would still /can still act as an application ! ). So, main.asc is specific to an application and it can contain the script to guide the behavior. None of these asc files are loaded by default, they are dependent on the application,
    The application can be loaded on server start up or upon the first connection to it. So unless there is a specific activity to load it up, none of the applications (and their corresponding script files) are loaded on the server engine.
    The applications, their script and other files are not specific to the interactive server, they are present and the functionality is same on all flavors of FMS and on both windows and linux.
    main.far file is just the signed archive of main.asc to avoid any changes to be made to it (the licensing process on the streaming server to restrict unsigned applications to be loaded is the reason to make this change), and hence if you make changes to the main.far , the application will not work. But this does not mean that you cannot make any changes. You can simply delete the far file and copy the main.asc (and edit it ,if needed) from the samples folder to make the applications work. You can also make copies of the applications.
    The documentation does not cover linux because there is no difference at all from windows, and what's true for windows should be the same for linux as well , in terms of its functionality.
    By default, FMS comes with only one virtual host : _default_VHost. I am not sure where you seeing the three virtual hosts.
    What query string you want to make work on Linux ? Can you please clairfy.
    I hope the information above clarifies some of your queries. Thank you !

  • FMS on non-Redhat linux distributions?

    Hi,
    We do not use, or ever want to use Redhat Enterprise
    editions. Is it possible to get FMS to work on a non-Redhat linux?
    I can't believe a company like Adobe/Macromedia would provide
    such poor support for Linux, and constrain it to one distribution.
    Regards,
    Cormac

    Yeah - it took me a while to get it to work. By default it
    would simply exit when you try to run the server, and everything
    looked fine - but it never actually loaded. Turned out I was
    missing libraries, and there was no error(because of some bad shell
    scripting, that they should fix!!!).
    I installed it on a Debain server (owned and used by about 10
    people) - and it crashed it. They were not happy.
    Anyway,
    Cheers!

  • Deploying FMS 3 in multipla linux boxes

    Greetings!!!
    We are planning to install a Flash Media Server 3 on two
    linux boxes for load balancing with VIP URL for those. This is a
    simple application for capturing media for not more than a minute.
    Wanted to know what are the drawbacks and advantage of
    deploying in multiple boxes.
    Thanks,

    I dont know... The guy that set up FMS couple years ago  was able to connect to the FMS without any scripts to my knowloege, Once he got it done, all I had to do is upload videos to FTP and the videos stayed on the website.
    ==============================
    This is what I have in a email:
    Your all uploaded  video should go under "/public_html/wp-content/uploads"  directory.
    Streaming server will fetch videos from this directory, for your  information this is a link created for FMS-Streaming application.
    You can  generate directory tree under "/public_html/wp-content/uploads". 
    And you can generate RTMP path by following way. 
    /public_html/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/lesson_01.flv
    will become 
    rtmp://11.11.11.11/vod/?id=streams/uploads/2009/06/lesson_01.flv
    ==============================
    So, I guess what my question is how do get the FMS to fetch the videos I upload?  I kind figure I need to edit the "Application.xml" or the "fms.ini"... but what?

  • Is there a text-based FMS 3 installer for Linux?

    Just downloaded FMS 3 for Linux. Per
    (flashmediaserver_install.pdf) installer document, it implies that
    you must run some kind of X Window (Gnome or KDE) to in order to
    install the product. Is that true? If that is true, is there an
    alternative, such as a text-based installer? Thanks.

    No, there's isn't. You should install IIS 7 first, and then install 32-bit version OBIEE.

  • FMS 4.5 on Linux does not bind to 1935, 80

    1. I've installed FMS on OpenSuse 11.4 64 bit, I know that according to the requirements it is not recommended distribution, but common opensuse is very modern and complete.
    2. During the installation I had to make a link @libcap.so.1 into the directory where installFMS script was present (because installer says that there is no libcap library which is not true)
    3. Completed the installation without installing apache (I have apache on this machine but disabled -> free 80 port)
    4. I have left default configuration (regarding user, group, ports: 80 & 1935 + 1111, added the admin user)
    5. I started the server with the command ./server start
    6. My htop shows:
    - several processes ./fmsadmin -console -conf ./conf/Server.xml
    7. I can connect to the server using the administration console on my localhost. The server is installed on host 192.168.0.160 (local network), I can connect to the server using credentials given earlier
    8. I can not connect to the rtmp service or rtmpt service

    Thanks in advance.

    I have found the solution:
    I had symlink: @libcap.so.1 in the setup directory only. Now i have created symlink in the directory where the server (fmsmaster) is running and the port now binds.
    I have run the proces (from the command line):
    ./fmsmaster
    and it shows:
    /opt/adobe/fms/fmsedge: error while loading shared libraries: libcap.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    So please Adobe:
    you SHOULD ALWAYS put failure messages into the log files. It is a shame that such mature product does not have proper error reporting. This could save hours of your clients time.

  • 10gR2 linux permissions issue

    Hi all,
    I've installed oracle 10gR2 on RH EL4 with no problem. However permissions for 'other' are set to blank. This means that anyone except root and oracle account are unable to execute programs such as SQL*Plus.
    Has anyone seen this? Is there something I'm missing in the install process
    Umask of the oracle owner account 'oracle' is 0022.
    Thanks

    That makes me think your environment did possibly not have umask 0022 at the time of install or someone reset the 'other' permissions after the fact (possibly as a result of blind sarbox compliance)

  • FMS on Mac OS X Server

    We use a big infrastructure on OS X Server, and actually we
    have some apps developed with FMS 2 run on a little test windows
    server. I hope we will be able to install FMS 3 on OS X Server to
    connect FMS apps to SSO, LDAP, SAN, to improve disponibility and
    security of services. If not, we begin to develop on RED 5 whichis
    available on simply tomcat server which run on OS X. But I think
    there are no reason that Adobe will not deliver OS X version of FMS
    3 whereas a linux exists.
    Can you tell us more about this support ?
    Thanks a lot.
    Chris

    I Really wish they did have support for Mac OS X, perhaps its
    possible somehow, but according to current documentation even RHEL
    5 is not supported but RHEL 4 is. Sure you can try to put FMS on
    RHEL 5 but there are no guuarantees that it will function properly,
    if you actually look at the specs on the flash media server page,
    this is only supporting Windows and RHEL 4, so ya looks like they
    are not adding any new additional platforms even though it would be
    awesome if they did add RHEL 5 and MAC OS X, who knows maybe in an
    update if they receive enough requests they might do it.

  • FR problem when Foundation is installed on Linux

    Hi there!
    I am trying to install Foundation (HSS + Workspace) on Linux machine, and HFM + FR on Windows.
    So on Linux I install all HSS and Workspace components. On Windows I install Workspace libraries, all HFM, all Financial Reporting.
    If I do the same install on both Windows machines everything works fine.
    But in Linux+Windows my FR doesn’t work. When in Workspace I go to File -> Preferences-> Financial Reporting I get “Required application module reporting.HRprefs is not configured.” Also database connection cannot be created, also FR client cannot access the server.
    I tried to install Foundation and reporting on the same Linux box and got the same error. I noticed that files that are created during the install do not get its parent directory permissions on Linux, so if I ran chmod command after installation, configuration, and then restart services FR becomes functional. But this is only until I configure HFM and redeploy web server on Linux. Then it breaks apart again and chmod doesn't help.
    Have you seen something similar?
    Is it really Linux permissions problem? If so, how do I make Linux to inherit permissions from parent folder to newly created files? Should I use ACL?
    Thanks a lot,
    Dmitry

    Hi,
    I have spent lot of time for this requirement but no luck, I am not able to found solution. I had raised SR also but oracle also clearly told that js script will not support in Linux/Unix.
    Note : I will tell you one method but it will not full fill your requirement.
    Using action framework ( EJB method ) , we can save the report local drive on Linux.
    http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/09/oracle-bi-ee-11g-action-framework-java-ejbs-and-pdf-watermarks/
    I had discussed with oracle engineer's they were confirmed that it will work on linux.
    Limitation: We can't put scheduler in this implementation we need to execute manually each and every time.
    Thanks,

  • Windows Dev to LINUX UAT deployment issue - can't log on.

    Hi All,
    I've recently deployed my dev dashboard/webcat to our UAT server ( for the first time ) along with changing the instanceconfig.xml to point to the new webcat directory. when I log in ( as Administrator ), I get the following error on the web page:

    Can anyone advise on what the problem is? I wondered whether it was a LINUX permissions issue, so tried a chmod -R 777 on the webcat directory.
    Thanks in advance

    For anyone interested, the problem, now resolved, was in the transfer of the webcat directory.
    In the end I ZIPped the webcat directory, transferred the ZIP, then unzipped on the destination server, not copying the web/catalog directory as a series of sub files/folders.

  • Changing permissions on external HD

    I've got an external drive (Simpletech something or other) that I've been using since my Windows days and I'm having issues with it on Arch.

    The permissions literally don't change. What the heck can I do here?

    Your hdd's pro'lly using the FAT32 filesystem, which doesn't support linux permissions. But a linux box can't work without permissions, so when the hdd is mounted, virtual permissions are set: All files are owned by the user who mounted the hard drive, and if I'm not mistaken the modes for all files are 644. That's why you can't write files or create new files - you can't change the virtual permissions. A workarround (which I adopted) is to add an entry in /etc/fstab about your hdd and mount it as your user on every reboot.

  • Permissions on External HD. Very odd..

    Okay. So I've had this External HD with My iTunes on it running last year until a while ago when it fell off my desk. I havent used it since because when I open iTunes that was connected with the Library file on my External, it says "The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permissions for this file". So I first check the permissions of my External and this is what it shows..
    It says "Everyone can Read and Write" but I can only read it. hmmmmm....
    I clicked the lock and typed in my password and I am still not able to change the privileges.
    Can anyone help me out on this?!
    Anything is appreciated

  • Problems with the latest windows installer?

    FMS *sigh* FML
    I am trying to get live streaming running on my windows 7 machine (as full admin; permissions shouldn't be an issue)
    - Windows install
    - No serial/Development server version
    - Yes Appache
    - Admin, password...
    - Default, default, default...ect, GO.
    Out of box, nothing worked - localhost just laughed at me with a blank ("could not connect") page and the FMS admin page was no better "Login attempt to the server below failed...etc".  Then I found that [root]/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf came straight from the installer like this
    # Please see httpd.conf.orig for the configuration of a default
    # (non-FMS) installation of apache.
    Listen 8134
    # If you plan to run FMS as root on linux, you _must_ specify a
    # valid user, with access to the FMS installation direction, or
    First off - Isn't that supposed to be set to 80?  Also, httpd.conf had no definition for ServerRoot - I am no apache expert (that cannot be overstated) but everytime i've used it, i've needed to define this.
    Anyway, I figured I had nothing to lose and so armed with essentially my mom's working knowledge of Apache's .conf schema, I went in and changed "Listen 80" and added a definition for ServerRoot, reset and...tada...finally, localhost would resolve to that FMS startup page.  But that doesn't mean much because I get a timeout/failure on the rtmp demo (sure the http demo works but who cares; ignf about http).  But that makes sense because the FMS admin page STILL can't connect to localhost (or localhost:1111 for that matter) so there was no server instance to connect to anyway...[Jason slumps; a broken man].
    Anyway - anyone have any insight?  Same problems += soultion?

    Hi,
    Thank you for trying FMS.
    Though you mentioned you have the admin access on your windows 7 machine, I still doubt the admin privileges are the cause of the problem for you. Let's take your issues one by one.
    After the FMS installation, the installer gives options to start the service automatically (few check boxes to select). But on Windows 7, that wont work straight away even though you are logged in as admin. What you need to do is to open a command prompt (with run as administrator). So, your command prompt is actually elevated with admin stuff. Now try to start the fms services as below :
    c:\> net start fms
    c:\> net start fmsadmin
    Once you get the successful messages, try to make connections, it should work.
    Next, the apache that comes along with FMS runs/listens on 8134 itself. Port 80 is taken over by the FMS processes (to be exact, the FMSEdge process) which will redirect all HTTP traffic to Apache on 8134 and all the RTMP traffic to itself (to be exact, to FMSCore process) and hence you can keep the 8134 intact.
    Once your services start correctly, there wont be any port conflict/problems.
    Please try and let us know if that helps.
    Thank you !

    How do I remove all remote server files on dreamweaver?
    I did it manually on the FTP website that I host it off (Parallel Plesk) but when I try and remove them on dreamweaver just keep on getting error messages e.g. (file not located/ no permissions) so is this a dreamweaver prob or plesk?..
    (I suck at explaining)
    If anything the remote file seems cached.
    HELP

    It might be a LINUX permissions issue. The FTP user may not have such permission.
    I don't use PLESK, but certainly you can see ownership and permissions in PLESK.
