Hi, i have been using Wowza 3.6.2 for Cisco TelePresence Content Server 5.3, it worked fine. I am now testing Wowza Streaming Engine 4.0.1 and i cannot get it to work. I have an identical configuration that worked in 3.6.2. Is there something that must be done for version 4.0.1 that is not included in: [http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/telepresence/tcs/5\_0/media\_servers/configuration/guide/wowza.fm.html#wp117942](http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/telepresence/tcs/5_0/media_servers/configuration/guide/wowza.fm.html#wp117942) I can’t figure it out: INFO server comment - MediaCasterStreamValidator.init[_defapp_/_definst_]: Started INFO application app-start _definst_ _defapp_/_definst_ INFO application app-stop _definst_ _defapp_/_definst_ TCS Error: [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/62668454/tcs\_error.JPG](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/62668454/tcs_error.JPG) (RTSP Announce failed to server). br.

Tom Hello, was there a solution to this? I have the exact problem, so it seems. ---

A couple things to check/try Make sure you have a username and password set up in the /conf/publish.password file. Or for testing purposes you could disable authentication temporarily by editing conf/[application]/Application.xml and changing RTP/Authentication/Method to none. Another idea is to turn on debug logging by editing conf/log4j.properties and changing the log level on the first line from INFO to DEBUG. Maybe something will show up as the culprit. Salvadore ---

That guide is for Wowza 3, but it should work if you follow the instructions using the configuration files in Wowza 4. Do not copy old configuration files from Wowza 3 to Wowza 4, rather start with Wowza 4 files. If you still do not have this working, do a short test then send us some files. First delete the current access log, then re-start Wowza (important to restart so we can see logging for startup), and run through testing, however you are using Wowza and Cisco Content Server. Then zip up the /conf folder and current access log showing the re-start and your testing to support@wowza.com. Include a link to this thread for reference. Richard ---

Also, please revert to INFO level logging before you re-start. Richard ---

Huh! Take a look here: Notes on Configuring Wowza 4.x on Content Server When you configure a Wowza 4.x media server in the Content Server Management \> Recording Setup \> Media server configurations \> + Add Wowza server screen, you might see the following error when you click Save. Failed to announce the RTSP to the wowza server This is the workaround: Step 1 Log in to the Wowza streaming manager. Navigate to the Applications page. Step 2 Choose Add Application . Step 3 Choose Live: Single Server or Origin . Step 4 Name the application _defapp_ and click Save . Step 5 Restart the Wowza server. Add the Wowza media server in the Content Server [http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/video/digital\_media\_systems/5\_x/5\_3/showandshare/integration/notes/sns\_wowza.html](http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_3/showandshare/integration/notes/sns_wowza.html) ---

Hi, there was no new errors, i tried disabling authentication and also put log level to debug: > DEBUG server comment - explodeStorageDir: ${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/content=/usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/content > > DEBUG server comment - validateStoragePath: start: /usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/content > > DEBUG server comment - explodeStorageDir: ${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/keys=/usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/keys > > DEBUG server comment - validateStoragePath: start: /usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/keys > > DEBUG server comment - explodeStorageDir: ${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/applications/${com.wowza.wms.context.Application}/sharedobjects/${com.wowza.wms.context.ApplicationInstance}=/usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/applications/_defapp_/sharedobjects/_definst_ > > DEBUG server comment - validateStoragePath: start: /usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/applications/_defapp_/sharedobjects/_definst_ > > INFO server comment - MediaCasterStreamValidator.init[_defapp_/_definst_]: Started > > INFO application app-start _definst_ _defapp_/_definst_ > > INFO application app-stop _definst_ _defapp_/_definst_
