Installing Flash Media Server 4.5 on Ubuntu 11.04
A few weeks ago FMS 4.5 was released. While reading through the system requirements it stated once again that it only supported running on Windows, Redhat and CentOS. Unfortunately for me I only develop on a mac and a ubuntu machine. In the past I had to use a script from this blog post to get FMS 3.5 installed.
So I decided to give it a try. To see if I could in fact get the server up and running on my ubuntu machine. To my surprise, the standard install scripts worked flawlessly.
Here are the steps:
- Download the development server
- unzip FlashMediaDevServer_4_5_all.zip
- cd [path_to_unzipped_files]/linux
- tar -zxvf FlashMediaServer4.5_x64.tar.gz
- cd FMS_4_5_0_r297
- sudo ./installFMS
- follow the onscreen instructions
- point your browser to your machines IP address.
Tried this on 11.10 and get this
ERROR: Your architecture, ‘i686′, is not supported by the
Adobe Flash Media Server installer.
Any Ideas?
the flash media server requires x86_64 os. Currently you are running i686.
if you type this in at the terminal it’ll tell you what architecture your are running.
uname -a
tried it on ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64.. installation was successful, but nothing is working.
even the uninstallFMS script is not working..
please help
Do you have any more details about the errors ?
