EC2 using Putty SSH: Server refused our key

Wowza Streaming Engine
21

Thank you.

Two more questions:

  1. re WowzaMediaServerPro_UsersGuide.pdf, on page 9 -14: how can I tell if Wowza is running as a service on the server right now?

  2. There is a stock FLV file located here: http://174.129.214.73/content/merry_melodies_falling_hare.flv If the server were running, I expect this pathway would return the flash movie. Therefore I will assume the WMP server needs to be started as a SERVICE as noted on page 14 of the PDF.

Thanks again for your kind patience in answering my questions.

Richard -

I found that file, and dropped it in the following server directory:

/root/home/wowza/conf/SimpleVideoStreaming/client/

and also here:

/root/home/wowza/content/

I have also downloaded the latest Apache server, which I then uploaded to the root directory of the EC2 server here:

root/httpd-2.2.11.tar.gz

Question: Is it advisable to install Apache at this time, so that I might have access to the available html files that call the flv and swf files independently of the JC browser.

23

I understand… so, for example, the html file will contain a snip of flash code that references the server file something like this:

… where “VALUE” = the directory pathway to the flv file located on the wowza server.

Is this correct? If so, I will set up a test page on our existing website.

Please let me know ASAP.

Thanks

Mike

Hi Richard -

I have set up a page located on a different server here:

http://xxx.nmatv.com/index.htm

The index file contains the exact contents of simplevideostreaming.html with this exception:

Please confirm the addressing sytem:

rtmp://174.129.214.73/simplevideostreaming.swf

Thank you!

Hi Richard -

Okay, here’s what I have so far:

At this location (http://xxx.nmatv.com/index.htm) I have placed an HTML file that makes the following call:

Thus the embed source is: rtmp://174.129.214.73/simplevideostreaming

So… where do I place the FLV video? Where exactly is the “streambox”?

26

Here’s what I have right now:

http://xxx.nmatv.com/index.htm , which is still not loading a movie.

<embed src="http://174.129.214.73/simplevideostreaming.swf"

The wowza server is located at Elastic IP http://174.129.214.73

Here’s the relevant file pathways on the wowza server:

/root/home/wowza/

conf/simplevideostreaming/client/simplevideostreaming.html

conf/simplevideostreaming/client/simplevideostreaming.swf

content/merry_melodies_falling_hare.flv

content/simplevideostreaming.swf

27

From the Security tab in Elasticfox…

I select “Other” from the dropdown

Protocol = TCP/IP

Port = 21

Host = 0.0.0.0/0

Click Add

Where do I add these numbers: 1935, 80, 443?

28

Oh, okay… I see what you mean: 1935 is the PORT number. Okay. Done.

http://xxx.nmatv.com/index.htm

Now I see the wowza logo on the index page. Hurrah!

Hi Richard -

Thanks for helping me this far. I have now set up a page wherein the Wowza player is visible.

http://xxx.nmatv.com/index.htm

The wowza player is prompting me for a server address and streaming item.

I am trying to get the video to stream automatically. The index.htm file calls the following:

http://174.129.214.73/simplevideostreaming.swf

This is a pathway to the Wowza server.

How do I get the client to play the swf movie automatically?

Those are ports, put those in box labeled “Port”, one at a time. Here is a list of ports you might want to add:

TCP Ports

21 (ftp)

22 (ssh)

80 (http)

443 (ssl)

554 (this is for rtsp)

1935 (wowza)

3306 (this is mysql)

8084,8085 (this is for JConsole)

UDP Ports

6970 - 9999 (this is for rtp)

Done. The only thing – there was already a UDP port set from 0 to 65535. Will this cause a conflict with the new one I just added?
