Hi Alex,
Sorry, we recently moved the 'sample' config file
to the directory contrib/etc, and changed its name
to fgms_production.ske.conf, and 'forgot' ;=(( to
update the source docs, and the wiki...
I, or someone, will get around to fixing this
documentation soonest...
Since fgms has a command line option where you
can give the config file name - run
$ ./fgms --help
to see the options - then your config file can
be anywhere, and called anything...
But the 'usual' unix location is
/usr/etc/fgms.conf
Do servers have to be on a specific port?
Public fgms usually use port 5000 to receive
data packets from each instance of fgfs running
in multiplay mode, and 5001 as the telnet port.
Others could be used, but it could be confusing
to users...
If you want to run and join our 'public' list
of fgms you need to apply here to Curt to get
a mpserver number, and he will then add you
to the flightgear.org dns records...
See here -
http://mpmap01.flightgear.org/mpstatus/
or here -
http://mpserver15.flightgear.org/mpserverstatus/
or other status pages for the current list of
'public' fgms servers...
But as a private, or test server you can use any
ports you like. And we have a config sample for
that - see contrib/etc/fgms_local.skel.conf
Advise if you need more help... it sounds like
you were able to get it compiled ok...
Regards,
Geoff.

Hello there,
In the http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:Set_up_a_multiplayer_server
article/page.
I found on this line in the CompilingFGMS section:
Once the program has been installed, you need to copy the
fgms_example.conf file from the /fgms/fgms-0-x/src/server directory,
into the build-fgms directory. To do this from inside
the /fgms/fgms-0-x/src/server directory, you can use this command:
cp ./fgms_example.conf ~/build-fgms/
I do exactly what the tutorial says, but I get stuck when it gets to
fgms_example.conf, which I can’t find in the directory that it says
its in.
Could you please help me? Also, Do servers have to be on a specific
port?
