Hi,

I’m really new to WOwza and to Linux so please be gentle.

I’m running a wowza trial in a new VPS i got. Its installed and running.

I know the Wowza server is running because with [http://altoturmeque.co:8086](http://altoturmeque.co:8086) i got the wowza build. But when i get [http://altoturmeque.co:8088/enginemanager](http://altoturmeque.co:8088/enginemanager) i get a page does not exist message …

How do I connect to my enginemanager

Thanks!

Is the Engine Manager process started? From you Linux console, type this (you can leave out “sudo” if you’re logged in as root):

> sudo /etc/init.d/WowzaStreamingEngineManager start
