Enclosed is a script that can be run to take care of the 403 problems.
After you untar DarwinStreamingSrvr4.0-xxxxx.tar.gz and run the Install
script, run SetupDSS.sh. It will prompt you for username and password
which you can use to administer DSS.
Once you do this, you can go to a browser on any remote machine and
login to DSS admin. You will not get the SetupAssistant but you can
configure all those settings in General Settings section.
The script does whatever Chris asked y'all to do yesterday as a
workaround:
Begin forwarded message from Chris LeCroy:
Subject: Re: How to login to Public Preview #2 (and avoid
403/Forbidden errors)
Yes - you can do all of this via the command line (of course, this
mechanism
may change in the future).
Three steps:
1- Run qtpasswd and create a user that you want to be your admin user.
2- Edit /etc/streaming/qtgroups then replace the current admin user
with
your new admin user name. Here's an example:
admin: ken
We'll try to put together and post a script that walks you through this
soon.
This is just a workaround for people who don't have the GUI parts
installed on their linux (and other unix) servers. This is not intended
for MacOSX QTSS servers. We are going to make this process better for
the final release, so that you don't run into the same issues again. We
appreciate your feedback and patience!
Hope this helps,
mythili
