How to install this on a dedicated server?
| Posted by Jack Skelton, 06-24-2008, 01:59 PM |
| Hey,
Im trying to install "Wowza" on my new dedicated server from iWeb. Im not familiar with installing something on a dedicated server so i was hoping for some help.
If you click the link below and click the "Linux install" (i have Enterprise Linux centOS) then next to the download now button you see:
To install:
sudo chmod +x WowzaMediaServerPro-1.5.0.tar.bin
sudo ./WowzaMediaServerPro-1.5.0.tar.bin
LINK: http://www.wowzamedia.com/store.html
I have putty which that looks like a requirement. But do i upload the download to the server? how exactly? then just type those two lines with the install file in the home directory?
Thank you!,
Jack

| You might be better off downloading the .rpm then using..
rpm -ivh nameof.rpm

| Ok, so just download the RPM version. Upload it to my server in /home directory. Then type "rpm -ivh nameof.rpm" into putty?
Sorry for my inexperience but correct me if I'm wrong.
Thank you!

| Actually, its an .rpm.bin so you can just do as it says on the page.
However, to save you downloading it then uploading it again, do this in putty..
That'll download it straight to your server in whichever directory you're in currently.

| Hi Jack,
I will give you the full steps how to do it.
1) Double click on putty.exe on your machine.
2) A window will open. Specify your connection name by typing hostname (such as ras.nixcraft.in) or IP address (such as 192.168.1.2) of Linux server. Click on Open button to connect to remote Linux server via SSH.
3) Click on Yes button to accept server's host key and cache the same key.
4)Type your username (such as vivek) and password to connect to Linux server. username will be root. password, root password of dedicated server.
5) type the command,
"wget "in single line.
6) type the command,
chmod +x WowzaMediaServerPro-1.5.0.tar.bin
7) type the command.
./WowzaMediaServerPro-1.5.0.tar.bin
This will install the rpm in your dedicated server. If you need any further assistance on this, please get back to me to my ID. I will help you to install these software for you.

| Great that it worked, though in the long run it might be a good idea to disable root access for SSH, for security reasons. You could use a regular user login to access your server and then use su or sudo to elevate your privileges when needed. That's what the installation instructions mentioned in the original post assume, btw.
