FMS3 on Windows Server 3 problems

Question

I'm a web designer that has volunteered to get FMS3 up and
running on our server. I installed FMS3 locally using the following
tutorial (
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/beginner_vod_fm3.html)
and everything worked just fine. I then installed FMS3 on our
server and made a test site to try to get the video to play. No
dice. I'm using Javascript to connect to the .flv file. Here's the
code I'm using:
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new
SWFObject('flash/mediaplayer.swf','mpl','640','500','7');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addVariable('file','rtmp://
serverIP/vod/AdobeBand_640.flv');
so.addVariable('width','640');
so.addVariable('height','500');
so.addVariable('image','images/placeholder_image.jpg');
so.addVariable('frontcolor','0x222222');
so.addVariable('backcolor','0xEBEBEB');
so.addVariable('lightcolor','0xA0410D');
so.addVariable('showdigits','true');
so.addVariable('showvolume','true');
so.addVariable('volume','100');
so.addVariable('autostart','false');
so.write('video');
</script>
When I try to play the stream nothing happens. I made sure
that the MIME Types .flv files are
flv-application/octet-stream. Any push in the right
direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

It doesn't look like it. There is some text in the log but it
looks like it didn't log any connections.
I modified my code a little bit and now I'm getting a black
screen where the video should be with the player below it. However,
when I click play the button disappears and nothing happens. Here's
what I have now:
<div id='preview'>This div will be replaced</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var s1 = new
SWFObject('flash/mediaplayer.swf','ply','470','320','9','#ffffff');
s1.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
s1.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
s1.addParam('wmode','opaque');
s1.addVariable('file', '
nameofvideo.flv');
s1.addVariable('streamer', 'rtmp://
nameofserver/vod');
s1.addVariable('type', 'video');
s1.write('preview');
</script>
