Server Administration Over Http; Configuring Flash Media Server - MACROMEDIA FLASH MEDIA SERVER 2-MANAGING FLASH MEDIA SERVER Manual

The conf directory illustrated here contains two adaptor subdirectories: the _defaultRoot_
subdirectory and the Adaptor2 subdirectory.
The _defaultRoot_ subdirectory contains the Adaptor.xml file and the _defaultVHost_
subdirectory and another virtual host subdirectory named www.macromedia.com. Each of
these virtual host subdirectories contains an application subdirectory. The application
subdirectory for www.macromedia.com contains directories for the applications
testApplication and videoConference.
The Adaptor2 subdirectory contains its own _defaultVHost_ directory and another
virtual host directory named www.streamingVideo.com. The www.streamingVideo.com
subdirectory contains an application subdirectory with directories for
AnotherTestApplication and a WhiteBoard application.
The /conf/adaptor_name/vhost_name/applications directory needs to be specified in
the fms.ini or Vhost.xml file. By default, the Flash Media Server 2 installer creates an
applications directory under the installation directory and sets fms.ini to point here.
The /conf/adaptor_name/vhost_name/applications directory is different from the
applications directory where you register your applications.

Server administration over HTTP

Flash Media Server 2 lets you administer the server over HTTP as well as Real-Time
Messaging Protocol (RTMP). You can use the same server management application
programming interface (API) over HTTP as you would over RTMP. By passing command
strings and arguments to the URL of your Flash Media Server, you can interact with the
server to retrieve information or modify the server configuration. This API is described in
detail in the Server Management ActionScript Language Reference, included with Flash Media
Server.
