Can't stream - Connection refused by server

Hi guys,

I wanna kill myself. My WMS on EC2 was working perfectly yesterday (using secure upstream and playback) and I turned it off to save money (I’m just deploying for now) and today I can’t stream. It says that the connection was refused by the server from both Wirecast and the Live client in the examples.

I restarted the server in standalone mode and here’s the output when I try to stream (I’ve changed my IP address becouse it’s a static one):

Anyone has a clue on what’s going on? I’m using a startup zip file with my last (correct) settings so I know I start the AMI with the last good changes in it (but I might have missed something of course).

I’ll have some ppl coming over in a couple of hours for a test stream and I would love to make the test -.-

Thanks!!!

If you terminate an EC2 instance you can’t turn it back on. You can start a new instance and use a startup package, and if you have the same elasticIP to assign to, it is possible to terminate an instance then quickly start a new one that is a functional clone. But that is something you had better test and perfect.
