I read that the best way to create a custom startup package is to use config files from a running instance. How can I download these running WOWZA Streaming Engine 4 for EC2?

Not really any documentation on this.

Thanks!

Hi,

The best way to do this is to first download the [default startup package.](http://wowzamediasystems.s3.amazonaws.com/com/wowza/startup/4.0.0/default_4.0.0.zip)

Then unzip and look at the contents of the startup package. It contains certain config files that are on your Wowza Streaming Engine instance.

You can bring those files from your “Already configured” instance and include them in the startup package.

You can refer to the [EC2 user guide](https://www.wowza.com/resources/WowzaStreamingEngineforEC2_UsersGuide.pdf) on page 24, for further instructions on how to change and use the package.
