Managing Flash Communication Server on UNIX

On all supported UNIX platforms, Flash Communication Server is installed as a service and includes a command-line utility, the fcsmgr utility, to perform certain administration tasks

You must be a root user to install the server and manage it using the fcsmgr utility; for more information, see Using the fcsmgr utility.

The default ports for the server and the Admin service are, respectively, 1935 and 1111. The default option is to run the server as non-root user 'nobody.' If you don't want to run the server as user 'nobody,' choose a user with a valid account on the system. To specify which user to run the server as after installation, edit the <Process> tags in the Server.xml configuration file. Be sure the user you specify has permission to read/write the server files. For more information, see The Server.xml file.
