wowza doesn't work on server

hi guys,

i got a little problem. first of all i installed the wowza media develop server locally on a open-suse-pc. it really works. all the other pcs in this lan could connect and i was able to stream on demand and live.

then i wanted to bring wowza to my external server. i did the installation and the server started. then i put all the config files from my local installation to my external server. the result: it does not work. i cannot stream on demand or live. what did i do wrong?

the log-files say:

java.net.BindException: Address already in use

could you help me?

thank you very much

First, it looks like Wowza is running already, or you have FMIS or Red5 or some other program using 1935. So make sure Wowza (or other Streaming server) is shutdown then restart:

[wowza-install-dir]/bin/shutdown.sh

You also need to create the application you are trying to use by creating this folder:

[wowza-install-dir]/applications/live

You also need this folder and Application.xml config in this location:

[wowza-install-dir]/conf/live/Application.xml

… and the above Application.xml /StreamType should be “live”

You were also try to connect with “rtmp://[wowza-address]/mystream”. If flvplayback component, it be something like:

rtmp://[wowza-address]/live/definst/mystream
