Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hi, when I try to run the rest api on custom port different of 8087 que Wowza Manager can’t connect to the server and show me this mensage: “Wowza Streaming Engine Manager could not connect to the Wowza Streaming Engine service(http://localhost:8087). Verify that the Wowza Streaming Engine service has started and is running.”

I can’t run the rest api on another custom port? Need to be always 8087 ?

It’s important that you configure your network and firewall to allow communication on these ports or configure alternative ports for these purposes.

This is not my question…

I asked if is posible to use another port different that 8087 for the rest api, because I changed the rest api port from 8087 to 8080 and now the Manager can’t connect to the wowza because is not using the default 8087 port… My configuration:

<RESTInterface>
                        <Enable>true</Enable>
                        <IPAddress>*</IPAddress>
                        <Port>8080</Port>
