Configuring Breeze Live - MACROMEDIA BREEZE Installation Manual

Configuring Breeze Live

If you install Macromedia Breeze Live on the same computer as the Breeze Presentation platform, no
additional configuration of Breeze Live is necessary. If you install Breeze Live on a separate computer from
the Breeze Presentation, you need to perform the configuration steps described in this chapter.
Note: If you are using the Breeze Live stand-alone configuration, all references to the Breeze Presentation platform in
this chapter also apply to the Breeze application server.
Breeze Live creates files that need to be shared with the Breeze Presentation platform. If Breeze Live is not
on the same computer as the Breeze Presentation platform, you need to set up the shared access to these
files and copy the custom.ini configuration file used by the Breeze Presentation platform to the Breeze Live
host computer.
To configure Breeze Live on a separate computer from the Breeze Presentation platform:
Create a user account on the domain that contains the Breeze Live and Breeze Presentation platform
1
host computers, and give the account administrative privileges to both computers.
This is the Breeze user account. Breeze Live and the Breeze Presentation platform will use this
account to run as Windows services.
Immediately under the Breeze Live installation folder, create a folder called "content" for the files
2
that Breeze Live and the Breeze Presentation platform need to share.
Share the Breeze Live installation folder so that Breeze Live and the Breeze Presentation platform
3
have access to it.
Set permissions on the Breeze Live installation folder. Give the Breeze user you created in step 1 full
4
control of the folder.
Because Breeze Live and the Breeze Presentation platform run as the Breeze user you created, this
privilege lets them write files to the folder and its subfolders.
Set the
5
FCS_CONTENT_PATH
file to the location of the content folder you created in step 2.
For example, if the Breeze Live host computer is named ZLIVE, you set
shown in the following example:
FCS_CONTENT_PATH=\\ZLIVE\

The custom.ini configuration file on the Breeze Presentation platform host computer resides in the
Breeze Presentation platform installation folder.

of the configuration file. In the example below,
