Hello,

I was using ec2 wowza for few months, and since few days ago I can not start new instance. I am using PHP lib to start instance via API, and error I am keep geting this:

[PHP]

[Errors] =\> CFSimpleXML Object

(

[Error] =\> CFSimpleXML Object

(

```auto
 => AuthFailure
                            [Message] => Not authorized for images: [ami-26c62d4f]
                        )

                )

```

[/PHP]

As I can see, my wowza package is activated on amazon :S

Thnx

Try one of these AMIs:

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/pre-built-amis-amazon-machine-images](https://www.wowza.com/docs/pre-built-amis-amazon-machine-images))

Some old AMIs were decommissioned recently.
