Chapter 1: Deploying the server
Configure ports
When you install Flash Media Server, you can accept the default ports on which Flash Media Server and Flash Media
Administration Server listen. You can also enter new ports. The default ports for Flash Media Server are 1935 and 80.
The default port for Flash Media Administration Server is 1111.
To test which ports a client can connect to on a Flash Media Server hosted by Stefan Richter of FlashComGuru,

To test which ports a client can connect to on your own Flash Media Server, use a

Description
TCP
By default, Flash Player and AIR clients make RTMP
connections to Flash Media Server over port 1935
over TCP.
To communicate with Flash Media Server over the
RTMP protocol, clients attempt to connect to ports
in the following order: 1935, 80 (RTMP), 80 (RTMPT).
UDP
By default, Flash Player and AIR clients make RTMFP
connections to Flash Media Server over port 1935
over UDP.
By default, Flash Player and AIR clients that cannot
connect to Flash Media Server over port 1935
attempt to tunnel over port 80 (RTMPT).
If Apache is installed and enabled, HTTP requests
made over port 80 are proxied to Apache over port
8134.
HTTP Streaming requests to port 80 can hang when
proxying to port 8134. Use port 8134 in the request
or configure Apache to listen directly on port 80
and configure Flash Media Server not to listen on
port 80.
