Installing Flash Media Server 3.02 on Ubuntu 8.04

< back to overview

We’ve set up a simple server (Ubuntu) with a LAMP stack on it.
When you get toys, you easily start to play. So why not set up FMS3? Great idea, we all love to play.

Download the FMS Developer edition at Adobe (here).

Upload zip file onto server (use Webmin if you don’t know how), make sure not to untar the file before you put it on the ubuntu-box.

Install the needed lib

# install dependencies
sudo apt-get install libnspr4-dev

And here’s the trick.
Check this site (all credits & thanks to Markus Bertheau ) – you’ll find these commands:

tar xfz FlashMediaServer3.tar.gz
cd FMS_3_0_2_r217
wget http://www.bluetwanger.de/~mbertheau/flash-media-server-3-ubuntu.patch
patch -p1 < flash-media-server-3-ubuntu.patch
sudo ./installFMS

Basically, Mark has written a patch for FMS3 on Linux, nice to know is it also works on a more recent version of FMS3 (3.0.2 r217).

Follow the installer, it works like a charm.
The developer edition is great to play with and needs no serial key.
