Can't Connect to MonaServer on my server

[jeff fried]

The connection fails because it is timing out.  A scan of my ports shows that MonoServer is listening on all the ports listed below The clients work ok on your server which indicates no problems on the client end. The server is not behind a corporate firewall or gateway so it shouldn't be a proxy problem.   Besides I've been using 1935 (TCP) with Wowza for years without any problem.  In fact, the only thing unusual is my configuration is that the http port is 8090 instead of 80 so I don't have to shutdown Apache.  But that shouldn't make any difference as it's connecting ok via HTTP.

Here's the server log. The host is running Centos 6.6 and MonoServer was started from root.

Here's the log from the Video Phone client indicating the timeout (2nd and 3rd lines appear after about 1 minute).

Connecting to rtmfp://hugbo.com//MonaClients/VideoPhone

NetConnection event: NetConnection.Connect.Failed

Unable to connect to rtmfp://hugbo.com//MonaClients/VideoPhone

I'd like to avoid going back to Cirrus so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance -- Jeff Fried.

I would check your iptables again to make sure UDP and TCP ports are open for 1935. This happened to me because I only had TCP open on 1935.

[jeff fried]

I did read your post before posting and opened those ports, hopeful that it would solve the problem, but the problem is still there.

One more piece of information.  An nmap scans for udp 1935 returns 1935/udp open|filtered unknown. I guess the next step is to track down what's filtering it.  I'm using the ConfigServer firewall if that makes any differene.

I finally am able to connect.  The problem was I didn't specify the host in MonaServer.ini and it connected to localhost.  That should have been evident by the trace below.  The VideoPhone application worked but the MonaVideo did not, acting like it never made a connection just showing a black screen.  At the moment I'm not going to worry about it as the VideoPhone should cover all the functionality that MonaVideo does (except for multiple users which I don't need at the moment).  My only concern is if failure of MonaVideo is evidence of something wrong with my MonaServer build.
