Hi Alex, Sorry, we recently moved the 'sample' config file to the directory contrib/etc, and changed its name to fgms_production.ske.conf, and 'forgot' ;=(( to update the source docs, and the wiki...
I, or someone, will get around to fixing this documentation soonest... Since fgms has a command line option where you can give the config file name - run $ ./fgms --help to see the options - then your config file can be anywhere, and called anything... But the 'usual' unix location is /usr/etc/fgms.conf > Do servers have to be on a specific port? Public fgms usually use port 5000 to receive data packets from each instance of fgfs running in multiplay mode, and 5001 as the telnet port. Others could be used, but it could be confusing to users... If you want to run and join our 'public' list of fgms you need to apply here to Curt to get a mpserver number, and he will then add you to the flightgear.org dns records... See here - http://mpmap01.flightgear.org/mpstatus/ or here - http://mpserver15.flightgear.org/mpserverstatus/ or other status pages for the current list of 'public' fgms servers... But as a private, or test server you can use any ports you like. And we have a config sample for that - see contrib/etc/fgms_local.skel.conf Advise if you need more help... it sounds like you were able to get it compiled ok... Regards, Geoff.
