Dear All,

I try to install Darwin Streaming Server on my fedora 11 box, it is available in tar.gz file format, I extract that file using the command

tar xvzf DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Source-prune-20070717.tar.gz

Than after going that extracted folder and run the command for installation.

cd DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Source-prune-20070717
./Install

it gives me output like that

[root@localhost DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Source-prune-20070717]# ./Install

but when I access it my web browser using the address "http://www.yourdomain.com:1220"or "http://localhost:1220", it gives me the error like "Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:1220."

while my httpd service is also running.
after installation of DSS a user is automatically created with the name "qtss", when I try to login using this user, it gives me the error "incorrect password or user name" like that......

please help me, and guide me where I am doing mistake, waiting for your response,

Thanks

Since you use Fedora it is good to first search the preferred repo's for a package. If there even isn't one in the unofficial repo's then do search LQ and the 'net. The source you're trying to use is old and installing from tarball usually involves running "./configure && make make install" (also see "checkinstall").

I built DarwinStreamingServer-6.0.3-2.i686.rpm for Centos myself but I can't find my .src.rpms so I'll just point you to http://www.howtoforge.com/apples-dar...-on-centos-5.2 which you can easily adapt to run on F11. Please omit the "su -" and "rpm -i DarwinStreamingServer-6.0.3-2.src.rpm" commands and build the package as unprivileged user instead. To do that follow instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_t...an_RPM_package.
