I have followed the guide on how to re-stream [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming) and it’s working good. I’m using the 4.0.3 wowza version on Windows 2012. My only problem is that the stream doesn’t start up after server reboot or wowza restart. I have added the streams to the StartupStream.xml like this \ live/_definst_ IPcam1.stream rtp live/_definst_ IPcam2.stream rtp when they don’t start i have to manually go in and start them and then they work fine until the next time. Has any one have had this problem and know how to fix it? ---

Hi Check the access and error logs in [install-dir]/logs. See if there is an error on startup. If there’s a problem you should see something during the attempts to start the streams. Post parts of the logs here if you like. Best regards, Daren ---

Hi there, it sounds like you have another application trying to bind to the same Port/IP combination as Wowza. Every VHost.xml /HostPort /IpAddress must be unique within Wowza. Another application cannot bind to the same IPAddress/Port as any Wowza HostPort. If there is any duplication there will be bind ERROR messages in the log file after startup. Salvadore ---

I finally figured it out. I do have a webserver on this server but its running on port 8080 so i figured it was good. It turns out that the Web Deployment Agent Service listens on port 80. After uninstalling that one everything seems to run normal and my .stream files start on reboot. Thx for pointing me in the right direction 🙂
