Wowza Streaming Engine 4.2 and ubuntu 15.04 with Systemd

Wowza Streaming Engine
5

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 seems to have something that was reported as working.

  1. Is the solution i currently use… but it is not very safe in production situation.

  2. I tried this but the rollback to upstart give me some weirf behavior of my web server…

  3. I just tried this solution and i receive the following error message when trying to activate the service :

administrateur@zircone:/etc/init.d$ sudo systemctl enable WowzaStreamingEngine.service
