Wow what a learning experience – Finally I have installed wowzamedia Server on the VPS account.
The steps are as follows
1. Log in as root or a regular account
root
# wget http://www.wowzamedia.com/downloads/WowzaMediaServer-1-5-3/WowzaMediaServerPro-1.5.3.tar.bin (This downloads the binary file and places it where it needs to go)
Note: (sudo is a command to execute a binary “as root”, which I am already.)
regular user
# sh http://www.wowzamedia.com/downloads/WowzaMediaServer-1-5-3/WowzaMediaServerPro-1.5.3.tar.bin
Then go to the folder
cd /usr/local/WowzaMediaServerPro-1.5.3.tar.bin
And then run
sh WowzaMediaServerPro-1.5.3.tar.bin
