> Hello,
> 
> I have the user name and password when setup/install correct, but when trying to login to Wowza Streaming Engine Manager I get this error every time: Could not connect to server: [http://localhost:8087](http://localhost:8087).

You haven’t mentioned your OS. Wowza SE 4.0.0 fails to start on Windows 32 bit after setup completes. Please [see my post](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/39749). This could also be the case if JRE is not the “server” version. Run the \bin\startup.bat file manually to see what error message shows. If that starts up the server fine, check if the service is getting started or not.

Sincerely,

Inderjeet
