How do I change the port used by the Wowza Streaming Engine Manager? I couldn’t find any documentation for this, though I note that there is a conf file for it.

Thanks.

Hello,

On the server running your Wowza Streaming Engine Manager UI, open the **[wowza-install]/manager/bin/startmgr.sh** file if it’s a Linux based OS, or **[wowza-install]/manager/bin/startmgr.bat** on a Windows machine.

In the code caprt where the Java configuration parameters are set, you will find this parameter: **–httpPort=8088**. You can change the port 8088 with a different port number. Please make sure that the new port you are using is not already being used by a different service that is running on your machine.

You will need to restart the Wowza Streaming Engine Manager service in order for the changes to be applied.
