Control HTTP, RTMP & RTSP access through external PHP

Wowza Developer Dojo

I’m trying to control access to streams via an external PHP script that checks the user/pass for the correct privileges for each video but I can’t get it to work with Wowza. I don’t know JAVA programming but I was able to piece together the following code, but it doesn’t even run. I’ve tried running it as stand-alone JAVA and it works fine, but whenever I try to integrate it with Wowza, it dies out with:

ERROR server comment - server core failure: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: bind
java.net.BindException: Address already in use: bind
	at sun.nio.ch.Net.bind0(Native Method)

Here is the code I have in the Wowza IDE:

The error you show means Wowza is already running. If the service is running, turn it off first. Or Wowza is running in stand-alone mode (/bin/startup.bat) shut that down before running Wowza in the IDE.
