Why are there 2 directories for media - 1 under webroot and 1 under applications?

Hello

I installed FMS and we are evalauating as a streaming server.

If I understand the documentation, all multimedia files for dissemination should be stored in this directory:

/.../applications/VOD/media

However, if I want the file to be available (downloadable) over http, it should be located under webroot.

/.../Webroot/

Now my question is, why can't I just create a symbolic link from .../webroot/media to point .../applications/vod/Media.

In general, we would like to do each file streamable and downloadable.

My thought is, the sym link allow us not to have to download each file in two places.

Am I missing something?  Are there security issues?  What is the idea behind having 2 directories?  I guess that the FMS can handle streaming and downloading a file at the same time.

Jay is right.

The server has been configured with two directories, because many customers is not available for download on HTTP support. Vod/media folder is for RTMP streaming only. Other clients need their media available on HTTP and RTMP. Webroot/vod folder is for these files.

Here's how the configuration:

If you look at the (rootinstallationfolder/conf) fms.ini file, you will see two parameters that define the location of vod media files:

VOD_COMMON_DIR = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\webroot\vod

VOD_DIR = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\applications\vod\media

These parameters are used in the tag in the folder rootinstallationfolder/applications/vod application.xml configuration file. They say FMS it can stream files to one of these places.

/Webroot is the Apache Web root. The Apache httpd.conf (rootinstallationfolder\Apache2.2\conf) file defines the location of the webroot folder. Whatever under this folder can be downloaded.

For broadcast only, put the files in the vod/media folder. For the streaming + download, put the files in the webroot/vod folder.

HTH,

Jody

  • Why are there two icons for my P1102w in devices and printers, Windows 7 Pro?

    I've recently updated the firmware and drivers on a LaserJet P1102w and now have two icons in devices and printers on Windows 7 Pro. An icon is correct and functional; the other is basically an icon that does not work and it reads series of printers HP LaserJet P1100. Functional icon reads the printer HP LaserJet 1102w (which is correct). If a single UN-installs the unusable icon, Windows just charge drivers to re - start. Is it possible to get rid of this icon?

    The problem has been resolved.

    HP Smart Install apparently was the problem. It is that I have updated the firmware and drivers to the latest (version October 2012) that the problem started. I used the HP CD and run the utility to disable Smart Install. I managed to remove the second icon, and he never returned.

    When I bought the printer, Smart Install worked fine, but not after the firmware upgrade.

  • Why are there two drivers for my printer in Device Manager?

    Product: HP Photosmart Premium C410 all-in-One printer

    I had several cases where I had to reinstall the printer software. Several times in the course of the last few months, without reason, that I can attribute it to when I try to print, I get an error message that the printer software is not installed.  I followed the instructions carefully for the resettlement of the printer and the printer as HP installation wizard, I downloaded. After deleting the printer in the menu devices and printers and reinstall the printer, I find myself with 2 copies of the Photosmart driver Prem C410 series.  Even if the printer seems to work ok, the Lenovo Thinkvantage Toolbox keeps giving an error that the printer driver is disabled and asks me if I want to activate.  When I check the drivers in Device Manager. Two copies say they work normally and all information is the same that is to say: driver date, version, details, etc...

    I disable or remove a driver but that we have no idea.

    It's windows, the Device Manager, that means some how windows think you had two different instances of the same printer, this could be due to the installation of several trying, or have you had the unit repaired or replaced? or maybe you changed the connection method (usb/wifi/LAN)? I simply remove these instances and then uninstall the drivers (if they still appear in uninstall) and then download and install the driver full hp.

  • Why are there redundant for Microsoft Security Essentials download sites?

    Original title: Microsoft Security Essentials:

    At the insistence of some other people on this community, I decided to start another thread for this exact same topic:

    Why are there redundant for Microsoft Security Essentials download sites? I went on the first site in my search on the web:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=520

    It looks pretty official to me, however, there is only one problem with the above site. Download options are way too vague for us lay people. After publication on the website of MS Community, I was quickly corrected on my ad which does not seem to be an idle thread and offered a link to download the instructions and frequently asked questions that did not work. Much later, I was offered another site to download with different language options and a more detailed description of download:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Security-Essentials-all-versions

    Well, I have to ask the same question again, but in a different way: why society billions of dollars allows this kind of nonsense (multiple and various download sites on the web) occur under their name? Excuse me if I look a little frustrated on this problem, but I am!

    Here's what the site was used initially. I still don't know which version to download for use on this site. The only distinction: "amd64" or "x 86". I don't know looking below that mean both.

    Version:
    Date of publication:

    4.4.0304.0

    10/11/2013

    Name of the file:
    File size:

    ENUS\amd64\MSEInstall.exe

    13.0 MB

    ENUS\x86\MSEInstall.exe

    10.6 MB

    Download sites are for companies and technicians who need to deploy these.  Basically, the people who understand and who need these details.

    For consumers (users of this community site), the printable page is simply microsoft.com/security_essentials

    Here, you can easily get the version you need.

  • Why is there a password for all your firefox settings?

    I'm sick and tired of my firefox browser attacked do and changing my 'new tab' url, my url of the home page and what I put on my browser. I understand the password to connect to websites, but why are there no admin password to change settings. If you have an admin password, which are required to change a setting, then this browser would be much safer and a lot less problems. Please add an option or an addon to get an admin password, which replaces all the rest, and will ONLY allow changes to any parameter in its use.
