Start and stop Apache
By default,
Flash Media Server starts and stops Apache automatically. If you
are proficient at working with Apache, you can disable this functionality
and manage it on your own.
Apache installs to the following location by default:
rootinstall\Apache2.2
Prevent Apache from starting and stopping with Flash Media Server
Open the rootinstall/conf/fms.ini file in a
text editor.
Set the SERVER.HTTPD_ENABLED parameter to false.
Restart the server.
On Windows, you can choose to run the ApacheMonitor.exe application manually.
Alternately, you can set up Apache as a Windows service that starts
and stops itself at start and shutdown.
On Linux, you can write a script that uses the apachectl script
to start and stop Apache at start, shutdown, or telinit.
On both platforms, you can run httpd from the command line.
(Linux) Use Apache that installs with Flash Media Server
Some Linux distributions include Apache HTTP Server. If this
version of Apache is running when you install Flash Media Server,
the version of Apache that installs with Flash Media Server does
not start. The version of Apache that installs with Flash Media
Server includes modifications, including the ability to support
HTTP Dynamic Streaming and HTTP Live Streaming.
To use the Apache HTTP Server that installs with Flash Media
Server, stop the version of Apache that installs with Linux.
