Wowza doesn't start at boot

Francesco_Fallica · May 2, 2014, 2:33pm

Hi,

after i followed this guide: https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-run-wowza-streaming-engine-as-a-named-user-linux-and-os-x

Wowza doesn’t start at boot, but if i start manually startup script everything goes well.

This is my boot.log file:

Starting sshd:                                             [  OK  ]
Starting ntpd:                                             [  OK  ]
Starting postfix:                                          [  OK  ]
	WowzaStreamingEngine stopped
	WowzaStreamingEngine: starting...
        WowzaStreamingEngine stopped                       [  OK  ]
	WowzaStreamingEngineManager stopped
	WowzaStreamingEngineManager: starting...
        WowzaStreamingEngineManager stopped                [  OK  ]
Starting crond:                                            [  OK  ]

Any suggestion?

Hi

Is it possible for you to include a copy of any scripts you have modified from the default?

Also can you let me know what flavor of Linux (I’m guessing from your output) you are on, and also what run-level are you on (who -r will show you this).

Thanks

Paul

That’s great news, thanks for the update and let us know if we can assist you in the future.

Hi

Thanks for these. One thing that is immediately apparent is that you don’t have all of the parameters for the sudo command in your /usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/bin/startup.sh.

You have:

sudo -u wowza $_EXECJAVA $WMSTUNE_OPTS $JMXOPTIONS -Dcom.wowza.wms.runmode="$mode" -Dcom.wowza.wms.native.base="linux" -Dcom.wowza.wms.AppHome="$WMSAPP_HOME"$

The example here is this:

sudo -u wowza $_EXECJAVA $WMSTUNE_OPTS $JMXOPTIONS -Dcom.wowza.wms.runmode="$mode" -Dcom.wowza.wms.native.base="linux" -Dcom.wowza.wms.AppHome="$WMSAPP_HOME" -Dcom.wowza.wms.ConfigURL="$WMSCONFIG_URL" -Dcom.wowza.wms.ConfigHome="$WMSCONFIG_HOME" -cp $WMSAPP_HOME/bin/wms-bootstrap.jar com.wowza.wms.bootstrap.Bootstrap start

Looks like some of it may have got trimmed when you copied and pasted.

OK, thanks for these. I’ll take a closer look and get back to you as soon as I can.
