I installed Wowza Streaming Engine on my AWS instance, and I have Lamp running on it and serving a web site. I only have 1 ip assigned to the EC2 instance at this time. When I look in the WSE admin, the IP it shows is not the ip to my site. If I do http://[my-actual-ip]:1935 I see the confirmation, but if I do the IP it shows (172.31.32.213) I do not get the confirmation. 1. How do I change the IP to my current one? 2. Wil I have an issue using only one IP, or do I need to assign a IP just for WSE? Thx! ---

Hi Brian, IP/port combinations have to be unique, so one IP/Port combo for Wowza, and a different IP/Port combo for LAMP. By default Wowza will bind to all IP’s that are available. To override this you can configure your VHost.xml file to use a specified IP. In your VHost.xml file change: ```auto * ``` To: ```auto [actual-ip] ``` You will need to change this for all the host ports setup in your VHost.xml file. Salvadore ---

Thanks for the quick reply. Can I use the same ip as I am using for the website? ie [same-ip-as-site] (I think this is how it is now on my older Wowza Media Server that is not AWS). ---

@BrianPss - Yes since your website runs on port 80 (http://) or 443 (https://) and WSE runs on port 8088. ---

can control and log on to Wowza stream engine only from this IP 192.168.1.4 But since I do not have a real IP address I can not access it, so I’ve installed the Wowza stream engine on the MacBook Because I want to control it remotely thank you
