Hello there.

Wowza Streaming Engine Manager (WSEM) operates in parallel with Wowza Streaming Engine (WSE). SO you need also to start the Stream Engine Manager. Please refer to these instructions for specifics on:

[How to start/stop WSE Manager](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-install-and-configure-wowza-streaming-engine#startManager)

Regards,

Salvadore

Im sorry, I posted the wrong link.

Starting Wowza Streaming Engine Manager is an additional step to Starting Wowza Streaming Engine.

This guide will show you how to do this on your particular machine:

How to start and stop Wowza Streaming Engine software

For example, to start the Wowza Streaming Engine Manager in stand alone mode, on Windows, use the following command:

```auto
cd %WMSAPP_HOME%\manager\bin
startmgr.bat

```

I would suggest starting Wowza and the Manager in stand alone mode so that you can view the log output in the console for debugging.

Please report back what you find in the logs.
