    How do I install AMFPHP on a Linux Server?
    « on: 03/30/04, 15:00 »
    I've been using AMFPHP on a Windows XP machine running Abyss Web Server and everything works but I want to transfer my files to the Linux Server at college. When I tried this, it didn't work. I set up my Flash files to use an external actionscript file so I can change the gateway address, which I did and I also copied all the AMFPHP files to the Linux Server but nothing worked.  Do I have to install the Flash Remoting Components on the Linux Server?  There's only a Windows and Mac installtion file for the components so how can I install it on the Linux Server?

    Can anyone help?

    You don't need nothing special but the flashservices folder. I have it running whitout problem in different Linux servers. Check http://www.flash-db.com/Board/index.php?board=24;action=display;threadid=5601

    I installed AMFPHP on the Linux Server but it didn't work.  I copied the files straight from my XP machine to the Server and changed the gateway address so there shouldn't be any problems in the actionscript or php code.  I also changed the permissions for the php files but could it be something to do with user groups and ownership?  If all you need is the AMFPHP files then why isn't it working?

    Sometimes you need to fix things because server settings are not always the same. Check posted thread to follow possible errors.

    I found some free php hosting and uploaded the files there and it worked perfectly.  I'll have to try it again at college but I can't change the server's settings.

    Thanks for the help.

    Can you explain what happens when "it didn't work"? Are you getting error messages, etc?


    If it's on a college server running Linux or Unix, it is most likely running Apache as the web server.  If the admin won't change settings, you can (sometimes) override settings using .htaccess files and the like.  The documentation on www.apache.org is fairly good for items like this.  Of course you'd have to know what settings are different between the two, to know what to try.  If the errors suggest a problem with php, you can try running a script that reports phpinfo() on each and compare.

    Good luck.

    Its ok I got it working now.  I think I didn't compile the Flash Movie right or there was a problem connecting to the gateway.  

    Thanks for the help.
