So I had my Wowza set up in another computer running on Ubuntu. Now I want to connect my custom HTTP Provider. I edited the VHost.xml in the conf directory. But after I restart my server, the vhost won’t start automatically. Also, the ports indicated in the VHost.xml won’t bind. I’ve made sure that the xml is correct but still it won’t work. Later, I’ve reverted my the changes I made in the VHost.xml and it worked. But I tried adding again, still the vhost won’t start.
My Wowza is in its latest version.
com.wowza.wms.http.HTTPCrossdomain
\*crossdomain.xml
none
com.wowza.wms.http.HTTPClientAccessPolicy
\*clientaccesspolicy.xml
none
com.wowza.wms.http.HTTPProviderMediaList
\*jwplayer.rss|\*jwplayer.smil|\*medialist.smil|\*manifest-rtmp.f4m
none
com.wowza.wms.timedtext.http.HTTPProviderCaptionFile
_.ttml|_.srt|_.scc|_.vtt
none
com.wowza.wms.webapps.MyNewProvider
testprovider\*
none
com.wowza.wms.http.HTTPServerVersion
\*
none
Am I missing something? Thanks. 🙂

Hello,
Do you see any indication of the issue in the logs? You can start Wowza in stand alone mode and view the output in the console [install-dir]/bin/startup.bat|startup.sh
Thank you,

Hey, thanks for the reply. The logs get stuck before binding the virtual ports. I don’t know why this doesn’t work while it works in my EC2. No errors.

I got it now. My EC2 and my other server have two different java versions. Thanks for helping. 🙂
