Hi

There are some workarounds.

1/ you can manually start Wowza by running the following as root

# /etc/init.d/WowzaStreamingEngine start

# /etc/init.d/WowzaStreamingEngineManager start

2/ Alternatively, you can reinstall the missing upstart functionality

# apt-get install upstart-sysv

The second option would ensure that Wowza is restarted on machine reboots.

1. A third option would be to try implementing the systemd service. This [forum thread/post](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/36886) seems to have something that was reported as working.
