hi,
how to configure wowza to startup as a service. i want it to start automatically at linux starting. I also searched for the file WowzaMediaServerPro-Service.conf i couldn’t find it anywhere in ther server.
So, how to crete this file? and how to configure wowza to start as a linux service taking into consideration that i configured wowza to run as wowza user not root user for server security?
thanx
The file “WowzaMediaServerPro-Service.conf” is a Windows file, doesn’t exist in Linux install.
Depending on your flavor of Linux, you start the service one of these ways:
service WowzaMediaServer start
or
/etc/init.d/WowzaMediaServer start
Take a look at the quickstart and User Guide for more info:

If you want to start Wowza on reboot then you need to use your Linux distros init.d feature to startup Wowza at the appropriate run level. Unfortunely this feature in Linux differs based on Linux distro. If you are running a RedHat or Fedora flavor you can use the chkconfig command. The command is:
chkconfig --level 345 WowzaMediaServerPro on
