I am new to Wowza. Have just installed Wowza Media Server 3.0.2. Have just installed Java 6 JRE. Have watched tutorial “Video On-Demand Streaming” showing a simple video streaming example. I have followed this example but when I click on play at the end I get the following message " Connection failed: Try rtmp://[wowza-ip-address]/vod" What are the most likely reasons for this failure? What should I try next? Any help or direction would be much appreciated. Thanks Murray ---

Hi projexchange, Let us try to get your vod application working. Follow the VOD tutorial: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-video-on-demand-streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-video-on-demand-streaming). Let me know if you need clarification of any of the steps. If you get any error messages in the player or in the wowza logs, please post them. ---

Hi Randall - I followed your suggested tutorial above: “[install-dir]/applications/vod” already existed but empty. “[install-dir]/conf/vod/Application.xml” already existed with correctly formatted “Application.xml”. [install-dir]/conf/Application.xml already existed with correctly formatted “Application.xml”. But still when I click the play button I get the following message " Connection failed: Try rtmp://[wowza-ip-address]/vod" For your info I am using Internet Explorer 9 from the same PC I have Wowza loaded on. The PC’s has IP 192.168.1.90. When I enter [http://192.168.1.90](http://192.168.1.90) into browser it is unrecognised. Does this mean Wowza isn’t working? Any help much appreciated - Thanks Murray ---

@primesecurity would appreciate it if you could share what you did to get it working. i have a similar situation as you do, i think. i’m running WMS 3.03 on Java 7/Windows 7 x64, and even though i installed the samples correctly, i cannot seem to get any of the samples working.
