  • Adobe already offers a step-by-step instruction document for their Media Server. Where do you get stuck? – Jos Jul 15 '14 at 10:04
  • I followed those instruction, while installing I get error as "./installFMS: 1346: ./installFMS: /sbin/chkconfig: not found" – user9956 Jul 15 '14 at 10:17
  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! The best way to add additional information to your question is by editing it, with the *edit* button. It is better visible that way, and comments are mainly for secondary, temporary purposes. Comments are removed under a variety of circumstances. Anything important to your question should be in the question itself. – guntbert Jul 15 '14 at 10:21

Try to install chkconfig:

sudo apt-get install chkconfig

If there is no package chkconfig available for 12.04, install sysv-rc-conf instead and define an alias, like this:

alias chkconfig='sysv-rc-conf'

and try again. For more details, see here.

  • I tried this one. Now it showing "/sbin/insserv : No such file or directory". I checked for insserv, it is already the newest version. – user9956 Jul 15 '14 at 10:45
  • Apparently, the instructions were compiled for a Debian system, which is close to, but not the same as, an Ubuntu system. You will need to improvise a little. In the Ubuntu distribution, the package `insserv` does not install a file /sbin/insserv. Therefore, you should define a symbolic link: `sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/update-rc.d-insserv /sbin/insserv` and try again. – Jos Jul 15 '14 at 10:52

  • The script `server` contains illegal commands or commands that have the wrong syntax in your current shell. I suggest that you either take this up with Adobe, try to edit the `server` script yourself, or ask a separate question. – Jos Jul 15 '14 at 11:17
  • I've edited the script server. Just changed #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash and I can able to start the server. But, now if I want to access localhost from browser it displays "403 FORBIDDEN". In widows if we just access localhost we get Flash Media Server's index page. I want same thing with ubuntu. – user9956 Jul 16 '14 at 11:23
  • In the current version of Apache, the server root has moved to `/var/www/html`. See here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/448944/where-to-place-my-local-website-starting-with-the-2-4-7-version-of-apache2 – Jos Jul 16 '14 at 12:06
