i’ve set up wowza streaming engine 4.8.10 on a free trial to test it out and i’ve had a few issues but got it to work and i was able to publish a stream with webRTC and play it back as well but when i restarted my pc , i can no longer log in to the engine manager and i’m getting this error " REST API Authorization failed when connecting to server: ([http://localhost:8087](http://localhost:8087))" , any idea how i can fix this? ---
