Deploying the server

Configure IP addresses and ports
Use the fms.ini file to configure the IP addresses and ports on which Flash Media Server listens for requests.
1
Open
rootinstall
/conf/fms.ini in a text editor.
2
Edit the
ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT
parameter. The default ports are:
ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935,80
3
Save the file and restart the server.
The Adaptor.xml configuration file uses the
ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT
parameter in the Adaptor/HostPortList/HostPort
element:
<HostPort name="edge1" ctl_channel="localhost:19350"
rtmfp="${ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT}">${ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT}</HostPort>

19350-65535
RTMFP
UDP
By default, clients use port 1935 and ports 19350-
65535 to communicate with Flash Media Server
over the RTMFP protocol. The RTMFP protocol
communicates over UDP. Clients connect to the
server over 1935 and the server redirects the client
to a port between 19350 and 65535.
Allow inbound UDP traffic on 1935 and outbound
traffic on ports 19350 - 65535.
Allowing UDP inbound traffic from unknown hosts
on ports 19350 - 65535 is optional. Flash Media
Server sends a packet out to a new client to redirect
it to a port in the range 19350 - 65535. This packet
attempts to punch a hole to allow the client traffic
back in over the correct port.To use server-side
RTMFP NetConnections, allow outbound UDP
traffic on all ports.
8134
HTTP
TCP
Flash Media Server proxies HTTP requests to
Apache HTTP Server over port 8134.
HTTP Streaming requests to port 80 can hang when
proxying to port 8134. Use port 8134 in the request
or configure Apache to listen directly on port 80
and configure Flash Media Server not to listen on
port 80.
1111
HTTP, RTMP
TCP
By default, Flash Player, AIR, and HTML clients
connect to Flash Media Administration Server over
port 1111. Clients must specify port 1111 in
connection URLs.
Clients cannot access Flash Media Administration
Server over RTMPS. As a result, Adobe recommends
that you block all external access to port 1111 so
that access to the Administration Server is
restricted to clients that are inside your firewall.
443
RTMPS
TCP
The default port for RTMPS. RTMPS adheres to SSL
standards for secure network connections and
enables connections through a TCP socket on a
secure port.
