Make sure you have python installed and the python interpreter is in your PATH.

I assume you're using Windows if you have a .bat file and if you have Python 2.5 (or higher) installed on your Windows machine you should be able to run the server script in much the same way from the windows command prompt.

Obviously you need to change the file= part to the path where the flashpolicy.xml file is. You can use the command above, ./flashpolicyd.py –file=/path/to/flashpolicy.xml –port=843

How do I exactly 'use' the file? I get error: File must be specified when I run the .py file.

How do I exactly ‘use’ the file?

The 'with' statement is new in Python 2.5 so I would guess you are running an older version of Python. Python helpfully tells you that the error occurs at the ‘with’ statement on that line.
