How to use my own Red5 or FMS

[Roger]

Q: How to use my own Red5 or FMS, as the video box suddenly disappear when opened.

A: This error mostly caused by the "default" red5 in our chat, which may has conflicts with your server. You can accord my instruction below to solve the problem:

1. Please download the new stable version of Red5 at Red5 : Open Source Flash Server Open Source Flash, FMS is not a
free software, so you need buy it from Adobe Corp.

2. About how to install Red5 in your server, you can find the way in the
website above, that's not hard.

3. After you finish the installation, enter the root folder of “Red5”, please view
Picture attachment. which is the Linux version. In Windows System, it’s much easier to make it.

4. You need first close the default Red5 in your chat, please open your
fcserver.xml, which is in the path of “123flashchat/server/etc/fcserver.xml.
Then you need find the parameter below:
<rtmp-server port="1935" ip="*" enable="On"></rtmp-server>
Change “enable=”Off”,.
Open your server.xml, which is in the path of
“123flashchat/server/etc/group/default/server.xml”
Then find the code below:
<flash-media-server targetURI="rtmp://123flashchat"></flash-media-server>
Change to “rtmp://your_server_ip:1935/123flashchat” (1935 should be the
real port your red5 use. Then restart your chat to make it valid.

5. Start your Red5 to make the video cam valid.

By the way,
To use the FMS is similar with Red5, as FMS is not a free software, you need
purchase it from Adobe first. About configuration please according to the
simple below:
Flash Media Server is supposed to be installed on your server, and
under <flash media installed DIR>/applications, please create a folder named
"123flashchat_default", then configure FMS address in the Admin Panel, like
this: targetURI="rtmp://123flashchat_default" or make the change at server.xml.

Note: Don’t forget to restart your chat to make it valid.
