Hi,

I have a trial version of the Wowza server and I am trying to add an application using the REST API.

The payload used is:

```auto
{
  "restURI": "http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications",
  "applications": [
    {
      "dvrEnabled": {},
      "id": "test99",
      "drmEnabled": {},
      "appType": "VOD",
      "href": "http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/test99",
      "transcoderEnabled": {}
    }
  ],
  "serverName": "Wowza Streaming Engine",
  "version": "4.0"
}

```

I get the following error:

false

null\conf\Application.xml (The system cannot find the path specified)

Can anyone help me?

Thanks, Szidonia
