I followed the tut. here:

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/php5sockets\_flash8.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/php5sockets_flash8.htm)

I have a linux server that I set it up on, so I didnt do the windows batch stuff.  
but anyway I get the message: Server connection failed!

the only thing i changed was the ip addess in the script to the server ip  
and i converted the .fla to .swf

ideas???

file permission possibly? does it have to be root for sockets or doesnt matter?
