I’m testing Wowza 4 trial, and I need always reconnect stream manually after application or server was restarted.

Is it trial limitation? If no, how can I configure Wowza so that it will reload and continue to stream again, even if the whole server has been restarted?

Oh. I’ve tried this but was confused that streams are not restart when application is reset. Didn’t realize I have to reset the whole server. Thank you.
