ffmpeg Access is denied

can anyone give me hand with this one?  i have dolphin 6.1.1 installed on server 2003 with fast cgi. dolphin runs and plays fine on it.

the problem i am having is uploading video/audio. i seen a post with a script to run and this is the results from the script.

As you can see i am getting an access is denied. i have dolphin installed on 2 other windows boxs but i can not for the life figure this on out.. 

Any ideas or things to try would be help full.  i have full access to this server and can change/try anything that is needed.

Thanks, Jay

ffmpeg output

Access is denied.

do you have permissions set to 777? just a question. also somewhere i think on the expertzzz.com/forum there is a post where you can download the ffmpeg for windows or linux, but this is and has been an exe on my linux server since time began. dont know if this will help you, but i would check permissions on ray/modules/

also, are you running RMS on that server?

no i do not have rms checked under ray widgets but i dont have it checked on any other installs either. as far as i know the permissions are correct. Also i did replace the linux ffmpeg with the windows one and no good there either.

Thanks, Jay

dolphin_jay,

I have Dolphin working on both LINUX and Win2003 working.

First off, make sure you have the Windows version of ffmpeg.exe. You can download it from here:
http://www.boonex.com/products/dolphin/download/

Mine didn't start working until I opened up the header.inc.php file located in ray/modules/gloval/inc and changed a line of code. On or about line 60 is the following bit of code

You need to change this:
$sFfmpegPath = $sGlobalPath . "app/ffmpeg.exe";

You need to change it to:

//jt note windows
$sFfmpegPath = $sGlobalPath . "app/ffmpeg";

Let us know if this worked for you. Someone else on the forum may be going through the same thing.

Thanks. I'll give that a try as well.  I may have done this for the other installs as well, but i just don't remember.

Thanks Again, Jay

Firstly check whether you have set 777 permission for it.

If that doesn't fix the problem,

The problem is many hosts won't allow to run ffmpeg. Because it will take a much of server resources.

well i am on a vps so i have full controll of the server. So what i did was move it from iis6 to apache and ffmpeg works fine. when i move it back to iis6 i get the same error.

so i tried to run apache from port 8080 and have iis6 on 80 but apache just seems to redirect back to port 80 on iis6.

so i either need to find away to get it to run on iis6 with fastcgi or have apache run on port 8080 with out redirecting to port 80.

renaming it to just ffmpeg had no effect either...

its strange because i can run it on iis7 and run apache at the same time but thats on another vps that i have full controll over.  hmmmm...

is there another version of ffmpeg that works with ray/dolphin that i can upload to replace the existing one because my server does support it just that this particular ffmpeg.exe file doesnt seem to work, when i run the test file http://deciphagear.com/dolphin/test_file.php nothing shows up under the ffmpeg output

i can upload music and pictures just fine, but not the videos

all php.ini values n everything else is fine

when i install the windows version of ffmpeg (the server is linux btw)

all my permissions are set correctly

i get

sh: line 1: /home/.manet/deciphagear/deciphagear.com/dolphin/ray/modules/global/app/ffmpeg.exe: Permission denied

wierd its working now but now i get the error:

sh: line 1: /home/.manet/deciphagear/deciphagear.com/dolphin/ray/modules/global/app/ffmpeg.exe: cannot execute binary file

i guess that meansi need the linux version

but the linux version shows nothing

Ok

my host said:

I went ahead and ran "ffmpeg -v" on your server and ffmpeg seems to be
supported just fine:

Yet, in my test file, there is still no output for the ffmpeg section. And i still get the upload file error. Any ideas?
