 1. if nessessary remove any files in ~/services/wowza_vhost_doms/
 1. Extract the plugin into ~/services/wowza_vhost_doms/

 1. go to ~/services/wowza_vhost_doms/conf/doms
 1. In that folder, there are two files, Application.xml and doms-wowza-plugin.properties
 1. Edit doms-wowza-plugin.properties, so that these things are set correctly{{{
ticketCheckerLocation=ADDRESS OF TICKET CHECKER WEBSERVICE, MOST OFTEN http://DOMS_SERVER:PORT/authchecker
storageDir=WHERE THE VIDEO FILES ARE
}}}

 1. In that folder, there are two files, Application.xml and domslive-wowza-plugin.properties
 1. Edit domslive-wowza-plugin.properties, so that that the two settings mentioned above are set to the same value as for doms-wowza-plugin.properties.
