When does the FMS reload the white-list file? Do I need to restart the server after I update the whitelist file?

hi

I cannot find the whitelist tool anywhere inside the installation folder

of FMS 4.5.2.r517 (on linux)

and there is no Mac folder as well, all i get inside the tools folder are these items,

and there is no Whitelist application.

1. regarding the swf verification, is it 100% that without a whitelist

file swf verification is disabled?

2. is it possible to execute server side code (such as main.asc)

for phds connections? - it would be very beneficial since it would allow

to accept and reject connections via the html/swf domains mechanism

and to do other server side logic..

3. why isnt there any configuration example for phds inside httpd.conf?..

i found the appropriate text inside a post in this forum:

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981019

all the documentation is lacking any description excpet discussing general keys

like PHDSCommonKeyFile, but does not mention their structure and proper

location.

your help would be appreciated... -)

hi and thanks for the reply,

yet i would appreciate some more clarification

1 a. in the case no whitelist is specified, you mentioned an error is thrown, perhaps this is so, but we still get the stream

and it can be viewed. is this a normal behavior?

1 b.another thing as i mentioned, the whitelist tool is not found anywhere. where to look for it?

it is missing from the fms/tools.

2. you've sent me documentation for server side AS, this does not answer my question,

which is where does the AS code (aka main.asc) should reside when related to an PHDS

on demand (not live).

- we would like to serve vod content from PHDS, and there is no associated application

folder for the phds vod as far as i understand, or would you instruct me otherwise?

for streaming live, there is applications/live

for normal RTMP vod there applications/vod

for PHDS live there is applications/livepkgr, ?

where does the on-demand PHDS application folder

exist?

3. I'm perfectly familiar with the location of the PHDS docs -)

what is not clear tough, is how to restart the FMS

apache?

- it is located inside /opt/adobe/fms/Apache2.2/

but when trying to restart it via:

apachectl restart - from /opt/adobe/fms/Apache2.2/bin

i get this error message:

/home/Apache2.2.21_x64/bin/httpd: No such file or directory

ps. our system administrator says the apache is mixed up with

the generic apache installed on the machine, and there is no

way to restart it, only by restarting the whole fms!..

and with the same breath, where are the apache logs

in this case as well?

would love some more elaboration
