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 !

  • Fixing problems with the Microsoft Windows Installer Cleanup Utility

    Sorry for the long subject. I am having what appear to be common problems with my acrobat reader for which the only solution appears to be using the microsoft windows installer cleanup thing.
    I have acheived downloading the utility to my desktop but when I try to run it I get an error message as follows:
    Across the top of the message it says 'WINDOWS SCRIPT HOST' and in the box it says:
    Script: C:\DOCUMEN~1\Karen\LOCAL~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\StartMsi.vbs
    Line: 1
    Char: 1
    Error: The specified module could not be found
    Code: 800700E
    Source: (Null)
    Does anyone have any clues as to where I can go from here as I am stuck with a program I can neither use or uninstall, and a reascue plan that doesn't want to cooperate either. And please treat me like a 2 yr old with the technical stuff. Thanks. :-)
    Karen

    Can you try to download it again, perhaps to the C:\ drive rather than the Desktop? Delete the Desktop download, then open Windows Explorer, and run the installer from the C:\ drive.
    P.S. do you have administrative privileges on your system?

  • Is there a problem with the Itunes Windows Installer Programme?

    The reason I ask is because I had a perfectly working Itunes programme on my external hard drive, from which I then deleted all the double ups of songs I had and then could not gain auto. updates of the dsongs I wished to add to itunes.
    It said to reinstall Itunes, which I tried to do and since this time the installation stops when installing the registry components and the following message appears -
    There is a problem with the Windows Installer Package. A programme required for this to install could not be run. Comntact your support personall or package provider.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thank you in advance for any help forwarded

    P.S. - Not that well versed in computer speak, so laymans terms welcomed.

    This message often relates to a problem with Apple software update.
    Go to Add remove programs and find Apple Software update. Try repairing it.
    Select Change>>repair.
    That probably will not work
    Then try uninstalling any instance you find of Apple Software update. That probably will not work either.
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.

    To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
    Remove any instance you find of Apple software update with the cleanup utility.
    Download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer and save it on your desktop.

  • Problems with the latest Windows 7 Conexant HD Audio Drivers For WIndows 7

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8997E with the Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 211 speakers. I have recently upgraded with the Windows 7 32/64-bit audio drivers posted within the last week in the Drivers section, and have had a few problems with them. Namely that whenever I listen to music (and etc), the volume is fairly low, and even when the speaker AND media player (Foobar, FYI) volumes are cranked, they flucuate, and eventually end up being much lower than they should. Is there any fix to this? I recently downgraded to the last Vista 64-bit drivers for them and that has ended the volume problem, but it doesn't sound as good as it should to my ears. Any help is appreciated.
    Also, this computer is only about two months old, and this problem hasn't surfaced until very lately, so I doubt it's something like the speakers going out or anything.

    Windows 7 is still a PRE-RELEASE OS until the OFFICIAL release date of October 22nd.  Toshiba and other manufacturers are still working on their drivers and may not have fully functioning drivers until then.  My advice is be patient and wait for them to get all of the bugs out.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • I am having major problems with the latest update for my itunes!

    I am having problems with the latest update for itunes, it says 'itunes has an invalid signature'. I have completely uninstalled itunes but now it wont download at all. Have tried downloading it 4 times tonight already. Anyone know how to get it to download? Or what to do?

    I am having problems with the latest update for itunes, it says 'itunes has an invalid signature'.
    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Has anyone had problems with the latest driver update for the Lexmark printers? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update.

    Has anyone had problems with the latest Lexmark printer driver update? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update. If I reinstall an older version of the drivers, they work.

    Mine crashed once with new update, but working fine.
    I had to delete old printer, restart iMac, and then reinstall
    new drivers to get it to work. Would not complete without
    the restart after deleting non-working printer. No problems
    since and all features working.

    What a vague and useless question.
    A search of the forums would have revealed issues that others are having.
    Why does it matter though?  Are you having issues?  If not.. why would you care?

  • Is there a problem with the latest iTunes update?

    After getting the most recent iTunes update my iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes. When its connected to my computer it charges but you can't see it on iTunes and none of the content can be accessed. I've never had this problem before, and it doesn't happen on my other computer with an older version of iTunes. I've gone through the troubleshooting suggestions for this on the Apple site but nothing seems to work. Is there a problem with the new update? And will it be getting fixed soon?

  • Has anyone else had problems with the latest system updates to Mac OS X v10.6.8 with the java virus patch?

    After installing the latest updates to Snow Leopard the system hangs up and will not open properly.  This is the update to Java, etc after the virus was discovered.  I have done the updates on four different systems with the same result. 

    No problems with the Java update here, although I have Java disabled. Might try reapplying the Java standalone while in Safe Boot (Shift at startup chime), if you did it from Software Update.

  • Problem with the Finder window in Chrome

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my finder window in Chrome.
    Since the window isn't a separate window anymore, but stuck to the top of the webpage, my finder window is too big. I can't read the "Cancel" or "Send" (I have no idea what's supposed to be there in English but I assume it's something like "send" and "cancel") buttons. I have provided some images of the problem, even if I make the Chrome window as small as possible, the finder window still is too big for my screen. I can resize the finder window from lest to right, but not up or down, which is extremely irritating for me.
    If anyone can help me how I can solve this problem.
    Thanks!

    I found the solution on another thread...Here it is.
    "I was having the same problem.  I found a way to make it smaller.  First, I opened chrome and clicked the green button on the window to make chrome go into full screen.  Then I tried to save a file to make the finder window open in chrome. When it opened in full screen I could see the bottom of the window so I resized it to make it a little smaller.  Once I did this it remembered the size so now I can access the bottom buttons when I take it out of full screen mode. Hope this helps."
    Worked like a charm!

  • Having problems downloading the latest Windows support software by Apple

    Hello, I am trying to install Windos 7 in my imac, via bootcamp, but every time I try to download the latest Windows support software for my imac, using bootcamp assitant, in the beggining of my download a message appears that I can not download this software because it is not available in the Software Actualizations Server. I have seen a lot of videos as to how install windows in my imac, followed every step, but I keep on having this same problem that does not let me finish, and in the videos they do not say anything about this issue. I have had this problem since yesterday. If anyone can help me, thank you.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    I do not recommend to download the Windows support software from Boot Camp Assistant, as it often fails.
    Instead, most Macs can download the Windows support software from the Apple website. Go to this website, and choose your Mac model and the Windows version you wish to install (under "Boot Camp requirements by Mac model"). Finally, download the correct Windows support software

  • Problems with the latest firmware upgrade

    I found a problem with the 01-10-2006 firmware upgrade. Now that it is inside my ipod certain videos don't play properly anymore. Actually the video starts, it plays normally for a while and then it goes still for a few seconds and then, when it plays again, the audio is gone.
    It always happens in the same point with the same video. In particular, just in case someone wants to try, it happens in the latest nasa video podcast.
    I don't know what to do!
    I'll try to step back to the 1.0 version...

    I'm having this problem as well. Sinse I updated the firmware all of my movies get stuck about every 10 seconds then if I wait a few seconds they start up again but with no audio. I'm quite certain that this is a problem with the firmware sinse the videos play fine on quicktime, they used to play fine in my ipod before I updated it, and I can get it to play the parts it gets stuck at if I rewind it but it happens very frequently and each time takes a while to reload. If anyone has found a way to solve this problem please let us know.

  • Satellite Pro A120: I have problems with the graphics driver installation for W2k

    I have installed windows 2000 on an A120 the system is fully service packed and up to date before I even begin installing the required drivers I am unable to restart the system. Once I install the drivers as recommended I have problems with the graphics driver as it will not install because it requires a restart and then I am unable to install any new programs that require a restart as the driver has not installed correctly.
    The laptop is a A120 Pro, 1 week old and came with XP home, because of this toshiba will not offer me support as I have changed the O/S even though they obviously support 2000 on this laptop as they supply the drivers.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    the reason the driver is not working is down to a problem with the windows 2000 not having the ability to reboot.
    When you select restart the system appears to power down then stays switched on. Now if I try to install software I get an error saying that the system needs to complete a restart to finish the install of the driver.
    The restart problem happens as soon as win2k is installed as although I have now shipped the laptop to the sales team I have another one which has just had a clean install of win2k without any drivers and the fault is present on this one.
    I am thinking it could be to do with power management but I'm not to sure as I have never come across this as I normally purchase machines which accept just about any O/S.
