Really don’t know. Most likely a system issue on your end. Hard to help from here.

I am not sure. Sounds like an OS issue. Check the drive the RMP install is running on as well. We are trying to install to /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer.

It was resolved yesterday. ‘btmp’ was using too much space on /var. I just deleted that file as it is not important.
