If the encoder is running on a different machine than the server running Wowza Media Server then you cannot use localhost to address the Wowza Media Server. You must instead use the Wowza Media Server external or NAT IP address. Also, be sure that TCP port 1935 is open on the machine running Wowza Media Server. You can test connectivity to the server from the machine running the encoding software by opening a web browser and entering the address:
http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935
Where [wowza-ip-address] is the external or NAT Ip address of the server running Wowza Media Server. Once you get this working then use this same address in your rtmp URL.

I did try your server and VOD works. So the server is up and running. I tried the following:
```auto
Server: rtmp://mediacp2.comcities.com/vod
Stream: mp4:sample.mp4
```

If you are on Windows you can get Ip address of a server by opening a command prompt and entering the command:
ipconfig

This site will tell you:

Look at top where it says “Your IP Address: …”

The server is running at that IP, port 1935 is open, but there does not appear to be an application named “live”.
Take a look at this tutorial:
[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtmp-based-encoder](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtmp-based-encoder)
In steps 1, 2 and 3 you create and configure an application, named “live”
Then make the FMS URL:
```auto
rtmp://mediacp2.comcities.com:1935/live
```

Hi
The [Wowza-IP] needs to be the IP of the server not “127.0.0.1:1935” this IP is local to the computer you are using.
See Charlie’s instructions,
> If the encoder is running on a different machine than the server running Wowza Media Server then you cannot use localhost to address the Wowza Media Server. You must instead use the Wowza Media Server external or NAT IP address. Also, be sure that TCP port 1935 is open on the machine running Wowza Media Server. You can test connectivity to the server from the machine running the encoding software by opening a web browser and entering the address:
>
