Setting Up Your Streaming Server
Follow these steps to set up your streaming server:
1 From Mac OS X Server, click the Streaming Server Admin icon in the Dock. From a server
with QuickTime Streaming Server or Darwin Streaming Server installed, open your web
browser. From a remote computer, open Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.5 or later,
Netscape Navigator or Netscape Communicator version 4.x or later, or Mozilla 1.0 or later.
2 Enter the URL for your Streaming Server Admin computer. For example:
http://hostname:1220
where hostname is the hostname or IP address of your streaming server computer and
1220 is the port number.
The first time you run Streaming Server Admin, the Setup Assistant prompts you for a user
name and password.
Note: For help on administering your streaming server software, select the question mark
on any Streaming Server Admin page.
3 After entering and reentering a new user name and password in the Assign Username/
Password page, click Set Password.
Note: You will use this user name and password to administer the streaming server.
The MP3 Broadcast Password page appears.
4 Enter and reenter a new password.
You will use this password when you send an MP3 stream to your streaming server.
5 Click Next.
The Secure Administration page appears. Enable this option only if you are administering
your server remotely and have an SSL certificate installed for secure remote administration.
For more information on secure mode operation, see “Installing SSL” on page 43.
6 Click Next.
The Media Folder page appears. Note the default path. This is where you place media you
want to stream.
7 Click Next.
The Streaming on Port 80 page appears. Enable port 80 if you intend to allow content to be
viewed from outside the local area network (that is, from the Internet). For information on
the pros and cons of choosing this option, see “Streaming on Port 80” on page 45.
