4.0.3 Insatall Problems

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hi, I just downloaded Wowza Streaming Engine 4.0.3 release and tried to install it on my mac mini.

The installation completed and said it was launching the Wowza Configuration program. However the configuration program never displayed.

I checked the logs directory and there are the following logs:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 151 Mar 31 21:36 postinstall.log

-rw-r–r-- 1 root wheel 494 Mar 31 21:36 wowzastreamingengine_error.log

-rw-r–r-- 1 root wheel 54 Mar 31 21:36 launchd.stderr

-rw-r–r-- 1 root wheel 4324 Mar 31 21:36 launchd.stdout

Then contents of launchd.stdout is:

The contents of WowzaConf.log:

Entered the WowzaConfig script and about to start waiting.

Installer exited and launching WowzaConfig.app.

Stopping services.

Please let me know what I need to do to get Wowza configuration to run so I can configure it. I have not been prompted to enter license key or user info for the manager.

One thing I did notice was that the file /Library/WowzaStreamingEngine-4.0.3/bin/WowzaConfig.sh has something on the first line before the #!/bin/bash that looks suspiciously like a license key. Is that intentional?

Jo

Hi Jo,

I think this is because you starting Wowza manager as non-root user.

You can enter your license key manually in the /conf/Server.license file. Be sure to save it as plain text.

Hi Roger,

I apologize, but that information is already public to anyone who downloads and installs Wowza on a Mac. Someone added a license key to the beginning of the startup.sh file and it is readily readable and even get printed out if you run the command.

Could you please restore my post with the offending information removed. I am trying to get support for installing Wowza 4.0.3 so we can upgrade our production server form Wowza 3.5.2. The 4.0.3 for Mac installs but the initial config program doesn’t run so I cannot set user name and password for the manager.

Thanks & regards,

Thanks for your response Richard,

I tried running the WowzaConfig.sh as root using sudo but it fails due being unable to find the nib file.

I moved on and create the Server.license file with my dev license and started both Wowza Streaming Engine and Manager and was able to connect to the manager but when it gets to the Sign In page I dont know what to enter as I was never asked to set a user name & password due to the config program not running.

Is there a file I can manually create for the manager user/password?

Thanks,

Jo

Hi,

Just as an update, the installer for the 4.0.3 release has now been fixed so that this script doesn’t contain the extra text at the beginning of the script.

We still need to learn why you had problems in the first place. The extra text wasn’t causing the installer to fail but you are correct in that it ultimately failed because it couldn’t locate the nib file.

Can you please respond to support@wowza.com withe the info requested and please also include details about the Mac OSX version that you are currently using.

Regards,

Roger.

Hi Roger,

The version of Mac OSX we’re using is 10.7.5.

I have emailed this to support@wowza.com along with the other requested items.

Cheers,

Jo

Hi jvstockley,

I have deleted your post because it contains some sensitive information that probably shouldn’t be made public.

Hi Jo,

It is strange that the installer is not working correctly for you. We have not had any other reports from Mac users to say they are having installer issues.

Can you please send an email to support@wowza.com along with a link to this thread. Please zip up and include your bin, logs, conf & manager/logs folders.

Regards,

Roger.

Thanks for your response Richard,

Is there a file I can manually create for the manager user/password?

Hi Jo,

The username and password are plain text and go into the [install-dir]/conf/admin.password file.

The format is

username password group

Group should be admin or readonly
