I want to change the RTSP port from 554, to say, 7070… How can I do this?

Hi mcperson2k,

This is an old post, but for future reference, you can change the default incoming RTSP port from 554 to another one. You would need to [edit your VHosts.xml file](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-troubleshoot-rtsp-rtp-playback#network) in your [install-dir]/conf folder to listen to the new incoming port number, and either add a stream file using the new port number or configure your encoder to publish using the new port number.
