Hi everyone,

It’s my first post on this forum. I have just bought Wowza media server.

I have a error when I tried to execute ./startup.sh (see below):

./startup.sh: line 24: java: command not found

Can somebody help me please?

Regards

Vincent F.

Hi,

you need to make sure that you have the JRE installed, and the java\_home/bin directory in your path.

You can download java from [http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp](http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp)
