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 :

```auto
administrateur@zircone:/etc/init.d$ sudo systemctl enable WowzaStreamingEngine.service 
Synchronizing state for WowzaStreamingEngine.service with sysvinit using update-rc.d...
Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d WowzaStreamingEngine defaults
insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 6) of script `WowzaStreamingEngine' overrides LSB defaults (0 1 6 S).
Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d WowzaStreamingEngine enable
update-rc.d: error: WowzaStreamingEngine Default-Start contains no runlevels, aborting.

```
