Worth a shot?

I have setup a flash video/audio chat room on my web host using my VPS and web hosting from NFO. I am using the RED5 open source media server.

I can't seem to point my web based files to the ones on my VPS. I am using a php/flash based system and here is what I have so far.

//connectionstring:String
//description: the rtmp connection string to the avchat30 application on your media server
//examples: 'rtmp://my-media-server.com/avchat30/_definst_', 'rtmp://xysqdxcq6.rtmphost.com/avchat30/_definst_', 'rtmp://85.204.22.123/avchat30/_definst_'

$avconfig['connectionstring']='rtmp://216.52.148.156:5080/avchat30/_definst_'

I have it as my virtual dedicated's IP address as you can see and its pointing to the AVchat30 files on it. I even included the RED5 media servers ports its running on. I cannot for the life of me figure out why it wont let me connect.

any idea's or assistance would be greatly appreciated, I know there are a lot of genius people surfing these forums who will remain nameless... *cough* EDGE *cough*

I'm not familiar with this application, but it is possible that your webhost or VDS has a firewall that is blocking it. Are you sure that the media server on your VDS is running and accepting connections? Does it have an error log that you can check, and does the website side have an error log that you can check?

Yeah Im going to check and see, I wasn't aware that VPS could run functioning firewalls, where would I go and see that? I checked the control panel but it just tells me that windows firewall is not up.

Our VDSes can run pretty much anything that a full machine can, but we recommend against running firewalls for performance reasons. Unless you've added one, you probably don't have one.

Sadly, it turned out to be some issues revolving around windows server 2003 64x Im going to do a fresh install of a linux platform and see if that helps with the permissions.

Thanks for trying to help even though this has nothing to do with your business, I definitely appreciate the effort and the top notch support NFO has always offered.

You're welcome, and I hope the new OS gets things going!

[WickedRadio.ORG]

yeah, I managed to get it functioning properly now using CentOS I guess windows is just too finicky for it to run as..
