Logging
The Adobe Media Server log files are written to the following directory:
/mnt/logs
For more information about logging, see Monitoring and Managing Log Filesin the Adobe Media Server Configuration
and Administration Guide.
Configuration files
The server configuration files are located in the following directory:
/opt/adobe/ams/conf
You can edit configuration files just as you would on any edition of Adobe Media Server. See Working with
configuration files.
Important: When you terminate an instance, all content on the instance is permanently deleted. Before you terminate
an instance, copy any content you’ve added or modified, including configuration files, off the instance.
The following are the differences between the standard Flash Media Enterprise Server configuration files and the
Adobe Media Server on Amazon Web Services configuration files:
• Adaptor.xml
Adaptor/RTMFP/Core/HostPortList/HostPort has a public attribute to allow UDP traffic through Amazon’s
firewall:
<HostPort public="184.72.197.33:19350-65535">:19350-65535</HostPort>
• ams.ini
The Administration Server is not configured or started by default. (See “Adobe Media Server Administration
Console” on page 25.) To connect to the Administration Server, configure a port:
SERVER.ADMINSERVER_HOSTPORT = :1111
On an instance, the /mnt directory is much larger than the /opt directory. Therefore, content is configured to live
in subdirectories of /mnt:
LIVE_DIR = /mnt/applications/live
VOD_COMMON_DIR = /mnt/webroot/vod
VOD_DIR = /mnt/applications/vod/media
VHOST.APPSDIR = /mnt/applications
LOGGER.LOGDIR = /mnt/logs
For information about configuring the server for optimum performance for your streaming use case, see Configuring
performance features in the Adobe Media Server Configuration and Administration Guide.
Apache HTTP Server configuration
The Apache HTTP Server configuration on Adobe Media Server on Amazon Web Services is the same as it is on other
editions of Adobe Media Server. Adobe Media Server listens on port 80 and proxies unknown HTTP requests to port
8134. Apache listens on port 8134.
The Apache root directory is:
/opt/adobe/ams/Apache2.2/
The Apache webroot directory is:
