I have installed php on my server. Prior to that i have installed flash media server 4.5 streaming edition and i am using the Apache 2.2 supplied with that. Now, I can see that Php is installed (with php -v) but when i try to access php files, my browser shows them as a text file. Since I am using the HTTP streaming, i would need to use the apache that comes with FMS. I have tried reinstalling it, restarting the FMS server, Apache Server but nothing works.

OS: CentOS 5.8 (can't upgrade as FMS doesnt support 6.0 and above) FMS version: 4.5 ( Streaming ) PHP version installed: 5.3

Thanks in Advance.

    Are you streaming the files on port 80? if apache also listens to port 80 then that will make a problem, to make sure which port apache is listening to try to execute the command "lsof -i:80" and see what is the output – Ma'moon Al-Akash Nov 24 '13 at 03:20

  • If your stop you media server and start apache, do you still have the same problem? – Ma'moon Al-Akash Nov 24 '13 at 03:28
  • I tried doing it. now the HTTP doesnt start. Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs [FAILED] – user3026395 Nov 24 '13 at 03:49
  • That is becuase the apache server shipped with your FMS is already taking the port, you can either change the listening port of the FMS or change the port of your apache web server and i think that changing the FMS is better – Ma'moon Al-Akash Nov 24 '13 at 03:58
  • By default FMS uses 1935 and 80. Should I remove port 80 from there?? – user3026395 Nov 24 '13 at 04:02
  • Yes! but if you are using a web player that streams the vidoes from your FMS then they should be strictly called using port 1935, also don't forget to start the other instance of apache, which will listen to port 80 – Ma'moon Al-Akash Nov 24 '13 at 04:10

Most likely your problem is due to having 2 apache instances trying to listen to the same port "default ed to 80", i would suggest making the FMS apache port listen to port 1935 instead of 80 and leave the your webserver listens to default, some instructions can be found here in order to enable and alter your apache configuration which comes with FMS installation, here is a snippet of what you actually need to do in the fms.ini file "which is contained in the link above":

ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935

Instead of

ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935, 80

Hope this helps
