That was definitely NOT the right thing to do. You should never use the root
privileges lightly.

The right thing to do is to read the documentation. FFserver's documentation
is available online:

http://ffmpeg.org/ffserver.html

And you also have a copy of the same documentation in the doc/ directory in
the compilation tree.

The documentation is quite long, but there is a nice table of contents in
the HTML version, and the title "3.3 How do I make it work?" looks
promising.
