Hi,

I am trying to setup my first wowza media server, so I am new to this.

I am using AWS EC2 instance with Wowza Pro HVM on T2 medium instance

I did not choose a startup package while starting up the the EC2 instance, so I was assuming that it is going to use the default package which has vods3 application.

but for some reason I do not have vods3 in my instance. So I wanted to check if I can

1. add the startup package once I have already started the EC2 instance.

2. Reset my wowza server to start from scratch?

Your help will be much appreciated

Regards,

Dev
