Hi we tried Flashphoner on AWS marketplace however the streaming function does not work any advice ?

Hello

If you provide SSH access via the private form, we will be able to check.

Make sure you open all needed ports on security groups (step 6):

WCS in Amazon EC2 - Web Call Server 5.2 - EN - Flashphoner Documentation

docs.flashphoner.com

Is there a way to carry over all our configurations from our normal monthly subscription?

Yes you can migrate server and all the configurations.
Let's say we have two servers: Server1 (non AWS marketplace) and Server2 (AWS Marketplace instance).
Roughly you have to migrate folder /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer from Server1 to Server2 with some tricks.

0. Stop WCS server on both servers.

sudo systemctl stop webcallserver

1. Backup the folder on Server2.
Make sure your backup is consistent.

Note. /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer is a symlink. So you have to backup a real folder under this symlink.

2. Copy all the folder content from Server1 to Server2.

3. Copy early backed up file /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/conf/flashphoner.license from the backup to Server2.

4. Edit config /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/conf/flashphoner.properties and set:
ip = {Public IP AWS}
ip_local = {Private IP AWS}

5. Start WCS server.
sudo systemctl start webcallserver

It should be enough to migrate.

If something is going wrong, you can restore backup folder or launch AWS Marketplace image from a snapshot.

Correction:

4. Edit config /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/conf/flashphoner.properties and set:
ip = {Public IP AWS}
ip_local = {Private IP AWS}

Do you need ssh to check? I can put it in the private form

Please clarify what exactly needs to be checked?

Migration to AWS license from the monthly subscription.

 

[Preston01]

Please note that the license on aws says it is expired therefore the stream doesn't connect.

Hello

Try to omit "step 3" and revert back your backed up license file
/usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/conf/flashphoner.license

3. Copy early backed up file /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/conf/flashphoner.license from the backup to Server2.

AWS Marketplace instance has its own built-in license so this step seems incorrect.
Yes, please send SSH and point to backup folder where we can find backup files.

We checked the server. Seems like it is working now:

The license used is AWS license, and it is correctly checked by license server (otherwise, streaming will not work)

Seems you've migrated the instance to AWS license successfully.
