The {server.name} and {server.port} tokens are a shortcut you can use if your swf is loaded and runs in a browser. At runtime on the client these values are swapped out based upon the URL for your swf. You can never use a {server.port} token for an RTMP URL; you need to use an explicit port.
Generally for RTMP in LCDS the port is set to 2035, but you could use the standard RTMP port of 1935 as long as you're not running Flash Media Server on the same machine. If you're deploying to AIR, then the swf isn't loaded and running in a browser and these tokens have no useful meaning so you need to use explicit server name and port values. Hope that helps, Seth ________________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of flexuser1 Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2008 11:08 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Messaging + CF8 with embedded LC integration question I think this might be because the RTMP isn't turned on at all. Would you kindly advice me on how to check my log files? Further, is there a way to manually shut it down and start it back up? In the service config xml, it says rtmp://{server.name}:{server.port} I don't think the port conflict could be an issue because its running on CF8 server? Isn't it simply using port 8500? Thank you
