Hi,

I need to change the default Wowza port to live stream **(from 1935 to 80)**. Some customers can not open the 1935 port.

I edit [WOWZA-FOLDER]/conf/Vhosts.xml and this is my end file:

```auto
<Root>
      	<VHosts>
                <VHost>
                       	<Name>_defaultVHost_</Name>
                        <ConfigDir>${com.wowza.wms.ConfigHome}</ConfigDir>
                        <ConnectionLimit>0</ConnectionLimit>
                        <HostPortList>
                                <HostPort>
                                        <Port>1935,80</Port>
                                </HostPort>
                        </HostPortList>
                </VHost>
        </VHosts>
</Root>

```

I restart my Wowza Server, but I can not connect to http://[MY\_IP]:80/live/stream\_name/playlist.m3u8 or rtmp://[MY\_IP]:80/live

You are editing the wrong file. First undo the changes you have made to /conf/VHosts.xml, then open /conf/VHost.xml to add or change ports that Wowza can use to stream.

Great, when I edit the VHost.xml file… Wowza stream also over port 80.

Thank you.
