Connect to the new virtual host by specifying the virtual host name, for example, www.example.com, in the Server
name field.

Configuring a single application
You can place an Application.xml file in an application’s folder. Values set in the application-level Application.xml file
override the values in the vhost-level Application.xml file.
To see an example, look at the vod and live applications included with Flash Media Server. Navigate to
rootinstall
\applications\vod and
rootinstall
\applications\live. Each folder contains an Application.xml file. The values
in these files override the values in the vhost-level file
rootinstall
\conf\_defaultRoot_\_defaultVHost_\Application.xml.
To prevent settings in the vhost-level Application.xml settings from being overridden by the application-level
Application.xml file, add an
override
attribute to a tag and set it to
"no"
, as in the following:
<LoadOnStartup override="no">false</LoadOnStartup>
When
override="no"
for an element in a vhost-level Applcation.xml file, you cannot override that element, or any
elements contained within that element, in an application-level Application.xml file.
Working with configuration files
Edit a configuration file
Note:
Configuration files are located in the rootinstall/conf folder. For information about configuration file names,
locations, and hierarchy, see “
