I created a new WSE server using the Wowza VM for AZURE.

I created a public IP address and I can navigate to the public IP and I see the following:

Wowza Streaming Engine 4 for Microsoft Azure 4.1.2 build13947

I cannot navigate to publicIP:8088/enginemanager

This page can’t be displayed

on the VM I can navigate locally and I see the following

Connection Settings

Use the following settings to publish a stream to Wowza Streaming Engine:

Server IP

**10.6.0.4**

Port

1935

Application A live application name on this server

Stream Name The stream name you want to use

Login A valid Publisher user name and password

In previous VMs I created I did not have this issue the public IP was listed instead of the private.

Where do I go to change the private IP to the public IP so I can connect the encoder and players to the streaming engine.

Also what changed I have created several test servers and never had this issue. I have looked at the help videos and looked over the documentation and I don’t see what I am doing wrong.

Also what has changed? I never had this issue before last week.

Thanks

If Wowza is installed on Ubuntu, possibly you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces file for “eth0, eth1”

Hello,

It sounds like your public IP is setup properly for port 80 traffic. You may want to look into [setting up endpoints](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-windows-classic-setup-endpoints/) to allow port the common Wowza ports to pass-through to your internal IP address. (TCP 554,1935,8086-8088)

Best regards,

Andrew

Andrew thanks for the reply.

I seem to have resolved that issue but the problem of the private IP remains.

I created a new VM running Windows Server 2012 I can get to the WSE using dnsname:8088/enginemanager and public IP:8088/enginemanager and can access WSE just fine.

However the private IP is stuck in the Application Connection Settings

I can run the test player which has the 10. IP address by default and the sample video doesn’t play, If I switch the IP to the public it will play the sample file (Big Buck Bunny).

The question I have where do I change the private IP to the public so I can connect my encoder to the right IP. I have set test VMs without the private IP getting in the way before.

Use the following settings to publish a stream to Wowza Streaming Engine:

Host - Server

10.11.0.4 (Private IP Address)

Host - Port

1935
