So I have to install the bundled version of Apache to get the apache modules ? If thats so that means in order to do a clean install I have to install FMS 4.5 choose to install the bundled verstion of Apache. Extract the needed Apache modules and httpd.conf configuration parameters then uninstall FMS 4.5 and bundled Apache clean up any left over files and configuration junk reinstall FMS 4.5 and configure a untested native(so to speak )version Apache(untested isn't new
) seems like alot of unecessary work when the files and configuration parameters for FMS/Apache could be provided by Adobe and documented.(maybe it is I just don't know it. BTW I will install the recommended apache version but Apache is often patched for security holes and its version often changes so I doubt installing a specific version Af apache won't be supported bye using apt-get or yum pretty big disappointment as often installation and configuration dependencies are difficult to meet with linux if you make and install Apache and all its modules such as PHP as I have listed in this origional post. Such is the way with Linux and some of the hassles can be overcome by using multiple VM luckily I have a quadcore and 6 gigs of ram(bragging rights? ).Thanks for you time. Pleas also answer the next question.
And What about the PHP problems that I have exsperienced on the bundled version of apache on FMS are they none exsitant in FMS 4.5?

I have obtained the files necessary to install FMS 4.5 on centOS5.5 without installing the bundled Apache server I will document my progress at each step here(I'm going to do this in notepad anyway so why not here. I don't know how you will aquire these files from anybody but adobe. I don't have permission to distibute them
ask for them here and you will probably get them.However centOS5.5 is now depricated and difficult to install from the ftp sever I use so I chose to find an alternate version and am using centOS 5.7 x86_64. Hopefully this works well.
step 1: I unzipped the files and transfered them into /etc/httpd/modules.
step 2: I checked the owner with ls -l and octal permission representations with the following perl script
for 1 or 2 of the other files in the directroy.I hope 1-2 is enough to check usually is (perl is almost always installed by default on Linux)
#! /bin/sh
FILE=/etc/httpd/modules/libphp5.so
MODE=`perl -e 'printf "%04o", (stat("@ARGV"))[2] & 07777;' $FILE`
echo $MODE
step 3: I chmod 0755 for all the files I added to the directory and chown root:root for all the files they were already owned by root but I don't like spending hours debugging only to find that I have the wrong owner.
step4: I check all files with ls -l to make sure the persmissions and owners match exactly.
stay tuned for my next post. Maybe I will succeed maybe I won't. Time will tell

Well I loaded the necessary modules into /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf as directed by this link
But when I restarted apache with sudo service httpd stop and sudo service httpd start i received this error
Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 994 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_f4fhttp.so into server: libadbe_dme.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied
Disaster right ?
Not quite. I am a persitstant type of fellow and tried to start apache again and centOS popped a GUI bubble telling me the SELINUX has denied persmission for the modules to load. Oh Yeah I forgot about that Thanks linux devloper guys for the bubble.
this is good news because I can either turn SELINUX off which i usually do in development environment. Or I can modify some configuration files. I'm going with the first choice just to see if I can get this thing to fire.Stay Tuned

ref: http://www.how2centos.com/centos-disable-selinux/

disabled SELINUX by editing configuration file like so
sudo gedit /etc/selinux/config
SELINUX=disabled
//to restart SELINUX use the following command.
setenforce 0
restarted apache with the following command.
sudo service httpd stop
sudo service httpd start
received following message:
[root@localhost fms]# sudo service httpd start
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
[root@localhost fms]#
Now to restart FMS and restart Apache for good measure use the test page provided by Adobe for FMS 4.5*much improved thankyou* I used to throw it away now I'm planning to keep the test page
.And finally test applications(this part could take awhile)Stay tuned for the restarts and results of the adobe test page.

well I restarted both FMS 4.5 and "external Apache" with sudo service httpd restart AND sudo service fms restart....successful on both
Then I went int /opt/adobe/fms web root ....successfully started the admin console excuted index.html which brought up the Adobe test page. clicked on the HDS/HLS button to test it and got this message.
This browser is not capable of playing the HTML5 video.
Please use an Apple Safari browser with HTML5 video support.
Great adobe guess I will be throwing the test page away again. Oh well HTML5 or should I say HTML is along way from being mainstream. I forgive you.
I'm off to buy a iPad2,iPod Touch and forgetting an iPhone since I've visually verified that the screen size is the same on the Touch and iPhone. Entering enemy terroritory wish me luck. I hope Apple employees(apples) don't come to my house to search for evidence of Adobe foot prints.

I finally bought an iPodTouch yesterday which is a good solution for me since its screen size is the same as the iPhone3,IPhone4S, and of course the touch. 1 test device for 3 Apple/IOS devices. 3 in 1 feels pretty good because legacy Apple devices aren't cheap. I will be testing my FMS 4.5 installation sometime today I have some other work to attend to first though
