lastly run the install, but we need to tell it to only warn about platform compatibility
./installFMS -platformWarnOnly
you should now be running the install

Hi,
Great initiative and quite useful.
I have also installed the FMS 2 on MediaTemple CentOS (4.4) but I used RPM and installed this version of the standard c++ library: compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386.rpm.
This was good enough to get the admin server running. I had lots of trouble running the fms server until I saw an article hinting that a mozilla library, namely, mozilla-nspr-1.7.6-1.2.5.i386.rpm must be installed. Well, that made the fms server to run.
My current problem is that I do not seem to be able to add applications to the admin console. Every time I try to add my sample application, it disappears from the console! I could not get any information and I noticed a few weird messages getting logged in /var/log/messages:
Jul 30 08:17:34 popcodestudio Server[31950]: No primary license key found. Switching to Developer Edition.

Do your servers run without any problem, ie, can you add applications and stream videos?
I would appreciate any help.
Hey ramino, I haven’t ran into any issues on any of my servers. i’m rebuilding a server tomorrow so if you like - maybe i can take you thru it while i build mine?
My site is also running on mediatemple dv server, and then I wanna use FMS2.
How many RAM do your server have in your hosting plan?
If your using fms2 for more than testing you’ll need a decent amount of ram. My last machine had 1gig and ran at about 60-90% depending on traffic.
But then again it had hundreds of simultaneous users
