This is the Wowza plugin in the DOMS project. The purpose of the plugin is to enhances the Wowza streaming server with

Installation instructions for STAGE and PROD

Prerequisites for the installation

Java 6
Wowza Streaming Server version 2.1.2 or newer (tested on 2.2.3)
DOMS must be installed with ticket issuer

We assume that wowza have been configured in the way that SB it maintenance prefers. This means that

There is one user account for the wowza, and the wowza server is installed in ~/wowza
One vhost have been configured (in ~/wowza/conf/VHosts.xml), with the name _domsVHost_ and configDir ~/services/wowza_vhost_doms

Installation procedure

Shutdown Wowza
```
sudo /usr/local/sbin/wowzainit.sh stop
```

Extract installation package to ~/tmp/wdp_1.0/

unzip releases/DOMS-Wowza-plugin-1.0rc2_install-package.zip -d tmp/wdp_1.0/

Remove old vhost installation (if existing)
```
mv wowza_vhost_doms tmp/old
```

Copy content of ~/tmp/wdp_1.0/ to wowza virtual host

cp -R tmp/wdp_1.0/DOMS-Wowza-plugin-1.0rc2_install-package wowza_vhost_doms

Setup the virtual host:
1. Create the virtual host. Edit <Wowza-install-dir>/conf/VHosts.xml. Add:
```
<VHost>
 <Name>_domsVHost_</Name>
 <ConfigDir>/home/<user>/wowza_vhost_doms</ConfigDir>
 <ConnectionLimit>0</ConnectionLimit>
</VHost>
```
2. Edit /home/<user>/wowza_vhost_doms/conf/VHost.xml. Set the correct value for the two host port elements (Root/VHost/HostPortList/HostPort/Port):
  - First entry (RTMP protocol) to 1935
  - Second entry (Admin Hostport) to 8086
Create folder structure:
1. Symlink: wowza_vhost_doms/streamingContent -> <path_to_bes_output_folder>
2. Create folder: wowza_vhost_doms/streamingContentLive
3. Symlink: wowza_vhost_doms/streamingContent/files -> wowza_vhost_doms/streamingContent
Set location of media files. Edit /home/<user>/wowza_vhost_doms/conf/<app>/Application.xml for both applications doms and domslive. Change element Root/Application/Streams/StorageDir to location of media files produced by Broadcast Extraction Service.
1. doms: /home/<user>/streamingContent
2. domslive: /home/<user>/streamingContentLive
Setup Ticket issuer in property file doms-wowza-plugin.properties for both applications (doms and domslive). Look for property
```
ticketCheckerLocation=http://<ticket_issuer>:<port>/authchecker
```
