Hello.

This can be defined per Vhost.

Please take a look at the [Wowza User Guide](https://www.wowza.com/resources/WowzaStreamingEngine_UsersGuide.pdf) staring on page 61. (Under the heading “Virtual Hosting”)

I hope this answers your question.

Hi,

There isn’t another way, though if you describe what this is needed for, perhaps some other solution might be available.

Hi,

The conf folder path is tied into the VHost level, so you can only add a different conf by adding a VHost.

Hi,

The VHost must define HostPort entries with unique IP addresses and port combinations that don’t

conflict with other VHosts that are defined on the server.

If i use vhost,then we need multiple ports .

Actually, i want different conf path for different publishing points that are use for different purposes.So that, it will be easy for me to perform task accordingly.
