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 1.5 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 deploying 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, you can choose to install the sample applications.
These applications are designed to show you the functionality of Flash Communication Server
and also provide templates for your own work.
To see the samples, in Windows, select Start > Programs > Macromedia > Flash Communication
Server MX > Welcome; then choose Sample Applications. On UNIX systems, open a sample
SWF file from a computer that has Flash Player installed. The SWF files for the samples are
located in the samples directory in either the web server publishing directory or the installation
directory.
