Adobe Media Server (AMS / FMS) and firewalls
This documents is my personal notes on how to get issue resolved with Adobe Media Server (AMS) and firewalls. This document is going to be a work in progress.
Sometimes AMS is not working under firewalls. By default AMS is configured to use port 1935, however in cases where that port is closed server will be using port 80. These ports can be configured. It seems that in cases where you use software that uses port 80 and port 1935 is closed than AMS will fail silently. Below is my notes and ways to diagnose and solve issues with firewalls and ports. I figured I'll port it under gist - I am sure it will be useful to someone one day.
FMS server can be set easily by configuring EC2 instance of 5.0.1 or any other version you pick. The Amazon FMS server will create the AMS root home here: mnt/webroot
1st SSH the AMS server:
