Flash Communication Server (flashcom) installation

didi666

I don't have the time for a complete howto, so here is some tips which nevertheless may help you:

1. installFCS only works on specific systems. Instead of getting it to work on gentoo, I just copied+pasted the essential parts out of it into an own script:
look for the line "* Perform installation *", everything underneath should be executed. It only should be necessary to fill the variables with sensible stuff.

2. sensible default examples:
$INSTALL_DIR=/opt/macromedia/fcs
$ADMIN_SERVER_PORT=1111
$FLASHCOM_SERVER_PORT=1935
$CREATE_ETC_MACR_DIR=1
$SERVICES_DIR=/etc/macromedia/fcs/services
$SERVICE_NAME=fcs

3. To get the binaries to run in a recent Gentoo build (gcc >3.0), you need to

Thats interesting! A few people I know are interested in running that service. It's a shame about it's binary install script though

Cheers,

Hi all!

I patched the FCS installation file to work with Gentoo, you can find it here. Besides excluding the distrocheck at the beginning, I also commented out the part that copies the init scripts into /etc/init.d (those RedHat init scripts won't work on Gentoo anyway).

For the init, I created this init scripts which seems to work quite well. It's my first atempt to write a Gentoo init script however, so any suggestion is welcome. ;-)

Hope this helps somebody!

P.S.: I worked with Macromedia FCS 1.5 r120
