Installing the server

Installing the server is easy. Be prepared to choose an administrator user name and password
during the installation. You can use the management console to change the administrator user
name and password later, if necessary.
Software designed to make network connections mimic modems or DSL lines in order
to save bandwidth, such as NetLimiter, can intercept system calls and break Flash
Media Server socket actions. The error message "Failed to Attach Completion Port, the
parameter is incorrect" appears. Before installing Flash Media Server, remove this type
of software. Also, do not install this type of software after Flash Media Server is installed.
You may use this type of software on the client, but do not use it on the same machine as
the server.
To install Flash Media Server on Windows:
1. Locate the installation file, FlashMediaServer2.exe.
This file is on your installation CD, or you may have downloaded it.
2.
Double-click the installer icon.
The installer launches.
3. Follow the prompts in the installation wizard.
4. Accept the License Agreement to continue the installation process.
5. Enter a user name and password for the first valid server administrator. These values are
written to the fms.ini file. (You can use the management console to add other
administrators later.)
6. Enter the server ports that Flash Media Server should use.
7. Accept the default location for the Flash Media Server files, or enter a new location to
which Flash Media Server should be installed.
