Like the topic says - the configuration program never ran after installation of 4.0.3. Now I can’t login to the stream engine manager. How can I set its credentials?

Hi James,

You can set this in the [install-dir]/conf/admin.password file.

This is the format:

```auto
# Admin password file (format [username] [space] [password] [space] [group])
#username password group|group
james password admin|advUser

```

Hi,

What OS and OS version is this installed on?

Please open a support ticket so we can help diagnose this in more detail.

Send an email to support@wowza.com and attach a zip archive containing

[install-dir]/conf, [install-dir]logs and [install-dir]/manager folders.

Thanks, that worked. However I seem to be missing a bunch of files in the stream manager for some reason - getting a bunch of 404’s and such.
