Could not connect to server: http://localhost:8087 - when trying to login to WSE

Hello,

Thank you for the feedback on these issues. Please let me offer some suggestions:

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.

This may be the result of connecting to a Wowza instance that is running in a hosted/data center environment. Try adding your IP address to the whitelist settings using these instructions from the Quick Start Guide.

Upon startup, WME fails to load. The Manager does load. The following error is seen in the Event Viewer:

Service WowzaStreamingEngineManager400 received unsupported INTERROGATE control, which will not be handled.

Functionally, Wowza Streaming Engine Manager (WSEM) operates in parallel with Wowza Streaming Engine (WSE). It looks like WSE is starting without the WSEM. Try a specific startup sequence to see if that helps the situation. Please refer to these instructions for specifics on how to (1) start Wowza Streaming Engine and then (2) Wowza Streaming Engine Manager.

  1. Using the instructions from the QuickStart Guide, try manually starting Wowza as a service.

  2. Confirm that Wowza Streaming Engine is running by testing this URL, in a web browser, which should return some version information:

http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935

  1. Start Wowza Streaming Engine Manager

  2. Access Wowza Stream Manager using this URL and attempt to login:

http://[wowza-ip-address]:8088

If these issues persist, please create a support ticket by sending an email to support@wowza.com. Please include a reference to this post and attach the following as a .zip (or other archive):

We are very excited with this new release and look forward to hearing from you.

Please keep us posted.
