Via PHP code. Maybe not the optimal way...

For Apache is installing a module and then having a flash player in the doc root and having some javascript on the page. For Lighttpd is just a few lines in it's config file to activate the modules. ...snip... > Of course, if you want a searchable Video Entertainment solution you will > want to setup a CMS > like Drupal: Yeah I *tried* for several weeks to get Drupal to stream flash. Supposedly there are modules that will do it. I begged on the forums. Never worked. It's really easier to write the PHP code, or rather, adapt existing code. IMO. One problem is when they update a CMS it can break existing modules, esp. complex ones that have a lot of dependencies like a flash streamer module. IMO.
