Verifying installed files
Installed files on Windows
If you chose the default folder in the installer, the installation folder is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.
Note:
The documentation refers to the default folder as
RootInstall
.
The Flash Media Server 3 folder contains the following items:
Name
File or Folder
Description
applications
Folder
The default directory that holds Flash Media Server applications. When you create
an application, create a folder in the applications folder with the application’s name,
for example, applications/mediaApp. Use this name in the client NetConnection call
to connect to the application (for example,
nc.connect("rtmp://someFMSserver.com/mediaApp")
).
You can change the location of the applications directory in the Flash Media Server
3/conf/fms.ini file or in the
AppsDir
tag in the Vhost.xml configuration file.
