Configuring the server
Last updated 11/28/2012
Allow application debugging connections
To play back streams and obtain data from shared objects, the Administration Console must make a special debugging
connection to the server. By default, the server does not allow this connection.
1
Open the Application.xml file.
Note:
You can set these values in an Application.xml file at the VHost level or at the application level. To set the value
at the application level, copy an Application.xml file to the application’s folder.
2
Locate the following XML:
<Debug>
<MaxPendingDebugConnections>50</MaxPendingDebugConnections>
<AllowDebugDefault>false</AllowDebugDefault>
</Debug>
3
Set the
AllowDebugDefault
element to
true
.
Note:
Debug connections count against license limits.
4
Save and validate the file.
5
Restart the server.
Configuring IPv6
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is a new version of Internet Protocol that supports 128-bit addresses. The current
version of Internet Protocol, IPv4, supports 32-bit addresses. IPv6 alleviates the address shortage problem on the
Internet. A system that only runs IPv6 can't communicate with a system that only runs IPv4.
By default, Flash Media Server runs in IPv4 mode, even if the operating system is configured for IPv6. When Flash
Media Server runs in IPv6 mode, hostnames specified in Adaptor.xml are resolved to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Important:
In Red Hat
®
Linux systems, you must update the
NETWORKING_IPV6
value in /etc/sysconfig/network when
installing or uninstalling IPv6.
Activate IPv6 on the network interface card.
IPv6 is embedded in all operating systems that the server supports. You may need to activate IPv6 on the interfaces.
For more information, see the operating system’s Help.
Allow the server to listen on IPv6 sockets.
1
Open the
rootinstall
/conf/Server.xml file in a text editor.
2
Locate the
NetworkingIPv6
tag and set
enable
to
"true"
:
<NetworkingIPv6 enable="true" />
3
Save the file and restart the server.
Enclose numeric IPv6 addresses in URLs in brackets.
Wherever a numeric IPv6 address is used in a client-side script, server-side script, or in the server configuration files,
enclose it in brackets:
rtmp://[fd5e:624b:4c18:ffff:0:5efe:10.133.128.108]:1935/streamtest
You must specify the interface zone index for a link-local address:
rtmp://[fe80::204:23ff:fe14:da1c%4]:1935/streamtest
