Wowza Streaming Engine 4.2 and ubuntu 15.04 with Systemd
Hi everybody,
I'm currently using Wowza with ubuntu 15.04 wich use the new service startup system (systemd) and i can't have wowza to start automaticaly.
I have seen this post ( http://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?43080-Ubuntu-15-04-install-Service-fails-to-start-with-vague-error-message) and the workaround but i would like to know if Wowza is planning to support systemd?
alternatively is there a way to configure systemd to start wowza?
Best regards
Richard

Hi,
We are planning to support systemd, but there is not timeframe for availability.

Thank you for your answer,
Is there any temporary workaround available? I tried to build a custom .service file but without success.

Hi
There are some workarounds.
1/ you can manually start Wowza by running the following as root
# /etc/init.d/WowzaStreamingEngine start
# /etc/init.d/WowzaStreamingEngineManager start
2/ Alternatively, you can reinstall the missing upstart functionality
# apt-get install upstart-sysv
The second option would ensure that Wowza is restarted on machine reboots.
3) A third option would be to try implementing the systemd service. This forum thread/post seems to have something that was reported as working.

1) Is the solution i currently use.... but it is not very safe in production situation.
2) I tried this but the rollback to upstart give me some weirf behavior of my web server..
3) I just tried this solution and i receive the following error message when trying to activate the service :
administrateur@zircone:/etc/init.d$ sudo systemctl enable WowzaStreamingEngine.service Synchronizing state for WowzaStreamingEngine.service with sysvinit using update-rc.d... Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d WowzaStreamingEngine defaults insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 6) of script `WowzaStreamingEngine' overrides LSB defaults (0 1 6 S). Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d WowzaStreamingEngine enable update-rc.d: error: WowzaStreamingEngine Default-Start contains no runlevels, aborting.
It's ok it works.
I just forgot :

I just forgot :
removed symlink /etc/init.d/WowzaStreamingEngine removed symlink /etc/init.d/WowzaStreamingEngineManager
