  • 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
