  • Adobe already offers a step-by-step instruction document for their Media Server. Where do you get stuck?

  • I followed those instruction, while installing I get error as "./installFMS: 1346: ./installFMS: /sbin/chkconfig: not found"

  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! The best way to add additional information to your question is by editing it, with the edit button. It is better visible that way, and comments are mainly for secondary, temporary purposes. Comments are removed under a variety of circumstances. Anything important to your question should be in the question itself.

Try to install chkconfig:

sudo apt-get install chkconfig

If there is no package chkconfig available for 12.04, install sysv-rc-conf instead and define an alias, like this:

alias chkconfig='sysv-rc-conf'

and try again. For more details, see here.

  • I tried this one. Now it showing "/sbin/insserv : No such file or directory". I checked for insserv, it is already the newest version.

  • Apparently, the instructions were compiled for a Debian system, which is close to, but not the same as, an Ubuntu system. You will need to improvise a little. In the Ubuntu distribution, the package insserv does not install a file /sbin/insserv. Therefore, you should define a symbolic link: sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/update-rc.d-insserv /sbin/insserv and try again.

  • The script server contains illegal commands or commands that have the wrong syntax in your current shell. I suggest that you either take this up with Adobe, try to edit the server script yourself, or ask a separate question.

  • I've edited the script server. Just changed #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash and I can able to start the server. But, now if I want to access localhost from browser it displays "403 FORBIDDEN". In widows if we just access localhost we get Flash Media Server's index page. I want same thing with ubuntu.
