[AG-TECH] How to start VideoProducerService and AudioService in AG 2.1.1

[Thomas D. Uram]

Hello Vu Quang:

The steps you are following look like they should work.  You say you are 
running version 2.1.1 of the AG software.  The latest version, 2.1.2, 
contains significant bug fixes; I recommend you update to 2.1.2 and try 
the procedure again.

If you continue to have problems, you can look at the logfiles written 
by the software to try to determine the problem.  The files you'll want 
to look at are AGService.log on Linux (in ~/.AccessGrid); and agns.log 
and VenueClient.log on Windows (in C:\Documents and 
Settings\<you>\Application Data\AccessGrid).  If the problem isn't 
evident in the logs, you can send them to me, and I will try to 
understand the problem.

Sorry you ran into problems with the software.  Let me know how things go.

Tom
