I'm trying to install Wowza streaming engine manager on google cloud, but it is not working. I am using this tutorial. I create my wowza streaming engine image, firewall rules, and instance with no problem. However, when I test my instance through the browser via the created external ip.

http://instance-external-ip-address:8088/login.htm.

the page fails to load. For my vminstance, in the metadata section i am entering WZA_wowzaServerLicenseKey as key and my trial license key as value. I am also entering WZA_startupPackageURL for key and leaving value as blank so the default package will be used. What am i doing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Can you paste the standalone wowza start up logs here ? #cd /usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/bin/ #./shutdown.sh #./startup.sh – Sathish Nov 05 '14 at 13:57

According to the tutorial :

  • did you add the required startup package (Pick a startup package and get...) ? Default = VOD + Live
  • the tutorial seems to indicate that if you want the default startup page, you shouldn't specify a key with WZA_startupPackageURL (To specify a startup package: In Key, enter WZA_startupPackageURL... Remember that if you don't specify a startup package, the Default startup package is used.).
  • did you also properly add the firewall rule for tcp:8088 and tcp:1935 ?
  • after Tutorial#Start the instance: please check that your instance is properly running https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances#listingvms

If you add the firewall rules in Google's developers console, be sure to set the 'Source IP Ranges' to 0.0.0.0/0 and not just 0.0.0.0
