Installation description - Version 1

This page describes how to deploy the wowza-plugin-package. The installation package can be found at wowza@triton:~/releases/chaos-wowza-plugin-release-package-1.0.2rc4.zip

Prerequisites

  1. Java 6
  2. Wowza Streaming Server version 2.2.3
  3. PostgreSQL version 8.4

Installation

These installation steps are required to install the CHAOS Wowza plugin. Replace the placeholders

  1. <ENV> with TEST_TRITON or DEFAULT. That is the machine that resembles the STAGE and PROD setup most.

  2. <VERSION> with 1.0.2rc4

Do:

  1. Copy package to the machine where Wowza is installed. ~/releases

  2. Log on to the server and unzip package to a temporary folder on the server. 

    unzip ~/releases/LARM-CHAOS-Wowza-package.zip -d ~/tmp/chaos_deploy
  3. Update Server:

    1. Update server configuration files:

      cp ~/tmp/chaos_deploy/WowzaSystemDir/conf/VHosts_<ENV>.xml ~/wowza/conf/VHosts.xml

    2. Copy plugin jars to Wowza lib folder. 

      cp ~/tmp/chaos_deploy/WowzaSystemDir/lib/*.jar ~/wowza/lib/
  4. Update VHost:

    1. If updating an existing installation, move or remove the wowza_vhost_chaos folder.

      mv ~/services/wowza_vhost_chaos ~/tmp

    2. Rename correct configuration files: 

      pushd ~/tmp/chaos_deploy/chaosSBVHost/conf
cp VHost_<ENV>.xml VHost.xml
cd chaos
cp Application_<ENV>.xml Application.xml
cp chaos-streaming-server-plugin_<ENV>.properties chaos-streaming-server-plugin.properties
popd

    3. Copy VHost deploy folder to virtual host location 

      cp ~/tmp/chaos_deploy/chaosSBVHost ~/services/wowza_vhost_chaos

  5. Create db-table for local streaming event logging (password=larm1234) 

    cd ~/tmp/chaos-wowza-plugin-release-package-<version>/WowzaSystemDir/bin/dbscripts_version_1.0
psql -h localhost -d larm-devel -U larm -W -f 01_create_events_table.postgresql

  6. Configure the plugin. See Wowza plugin configuration description - version 1
