@Denna
Check your file permissions

@icarus
Sounds like a policy file issue. Check that the policy file is being served and that you are allowing connections from the correct domain.

I managed to run everything and install everything, but I’m running into an issue when attempting to actually connect.

I can see on my immortal channel that the connection is attempting to happen, but then it’s cancelled with a message to the Fmud user reading simply “Unable to connect: security error.”

Any assistance would be greatly appriciated.

When running the script as follows:

nohup ./flashpolicyd.py –file=/flashpolicy.xml –port=5055 &

I get the following error:

nohup: failed to run command `./flashpolicyd.py’: permission denied.

Am I mistaken in believing I wouldn’t need root access to use another port here instead of 843?

I’ve set it up so that the policy file is being served through the game’s http server. I get the from FMud and in return serve the policy file, but FMud doesn’t respond and I get a security error. This is the policy file I return to flash:

I guess that means you don’t have Python installed or that the interpreter is not in your path.

Sorry but, ‘python’ isn’t recognized as a command prompt command.

You just need to run the python script from a command prompt in Windows, something like “python flashpolicyd.py –file=/path/to/flashpolicy.xml –port=843″ from the directory where the flashpolicyd.py file is. Make sure you have python installed and the python interpreter is in your PATH.
