CHAPTER 2

Managing the Server

As a Flash Communication Server administrator, you’ll need to perform several administrative

tasks after the server is installed. This chapter describes how Macromedia Flash Communication

Server MX is configured when you first install it, how to set up additional administrators, and

how to monitor the server’s activity.

For many of these tasks, you’ll use the Administration Console that was installed with the server.

This chapter describes the Administration Console in detail.

Performing administration tasks

When you’ve installed Flash Communication Server, you should perform the following tasks

before connecting to the server with client applications:

• Review the included sample applications.

• Become familiar with the server’s initial configuration.

• Define additional server administrators.

• Register client applications.

• Configure virtual hosts.

• Configure new applications, including uploading server-side scripts or audio/video files.

• Become familiar with the procedures for starting and stopping the server.

Reviewing the sample applications

When you install Flash Communication Server, several sample applications are included. To see a

description of each one, select Programs > Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX >

Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX Sample Applications from the Start menu in

Microsoft Windows.

Understanding application elements

It is important to understand the files, scripts, and other parts of a communication application

that runs on the server. These elements include the following:

A Macromedia Flash MX SWF file that is served from a web server. This is the application itself.

A directory inside the flashcom application directory, named to match the application name. This

is the name the SWF file uses when connecting to Flash Communication Server. The server

registers each application when it finds its directory in the flashcom application directory. For

more information about the flashcom application directory, see Registering client applications.
