http live streaming in centOS implementaion - http-live-streaming

I need to setup http live streaming in centOS , Please any one help in this with step by step configuration ?
I did lot of go-ogling but i dint find the proper solution . Every one tell about using ff mpeg we can achieve this . But not proper procedure.

you need to install a webserver with webdav support.apache with webdav modules activated will do it. the webdav_fs module expands the apache with user rights to write on a predefined directory.so, you create this directory first (eg /opt/webdav/hls/path2stream) and chmod and chown this directory to eg user and group "apache".then, you will have to edit httpd.conf to edit the server name according to the uname convention.finally, you can log the PUT commands by the encoder and the GET commands from the player in the apache log directory (/var/log/httpd/..access_log.

pywatchdog and pyinotify not detecting changes on files inside ftp created directories

I have an application monitoring files sent to a FTP server (proftpd 1.3.5a). I am using pywatchdog to monitor file creation on FTP server root (app running locally), but under some very specific circumstance it does not issue a notification: when I create a new dir through ftp and, after that, create a file under this directory. The file creation/modification events are not caught!
In order to reproduce it in a simple way I've used pyinotify (0.9.6) itself and it looks like the problem comes from there. So, a simple way to reproduce the problem:
Install proftpd and pyinotify (python3) on the server with default settings
In the server, run the following command to monitor ftp root (recursive and autoadd turned on - considering user "user"):
python3 -m pyinotify -v -r -a /home/user
In the client, create a sample.txt, connect in the ftp server and issue the following commands, in this order:
mkdir dir_a
cd dir_a
put sample.txt
There will be no events related to sample.txt - neither create nor modify!
I've tried to remove the ftp factor from the issue by manually creating and moving directories inside the observed target and creating files inside these directories, but the issue does not happen - it all works smoothly.
Any help will be appreciated!

Symlink to raspberry pi webroot breaks

I have my raspberry pi setup as an internal web server. I have an external hard drive connected to the pi and mounted correctly.
I then symlink two folders from the hard drive to the web root on the pi, one is /Movies, and the other is /Series.
Initially this all works fine, as in if I hit http://192.168.1.17/Movies I get a list of all the files, I then click one and it starts playing no problem. However, after leaving it for a while and coming back, I can still get to the file directory in /Movies or /Series, but when I click a file, the web browser cannot open it.
I have no idea what's going on, it seems weird that I can still access the file directory, but playing a file doesn't work?
Any thoughts or help appreciated.
Are you using an apache server?
If so Symlinking is not a good idea.
An alternative which is more secure and may fix your problem is to install Userdir
sudo a2enmod userdir
Then you need to make a directory in home
mkdir public_html
Restart Apache
sudo service apache2 restart
If you want to change the home directory apache points to you can do so in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/userdir.conf .Then change the <Directory /home/*/public_html> to the directory you want.
To access you're server simply enter ip_of_Rpi/~pi_username. e.g 192.168.0.100/~pi
more details here: http://ubuntuserverguide.com/2012/10/how-to-enable-and-configure-apache2-userdir-module-in-ubuntu-server-12-04.html
If you are using Apache web server, you can use mod_alias to map some directory in a URL path like this
Alias /mnt/external_disk01/movies /Movies
Alias /mnt/external_disk02/series /Series
Before use alias, make sure it is activated.
To activate:
a2enmod alias

installations of cake php website in linux server

I've developed a website in cakephp and it is running successfully in localhost of my windows operating system.Now i need to make it run on Linus static IP server.I also need to know that what are all the softwares needed to install and implementation procedures to upload it and where to upload it.Any help would be greatly appreciate.
You have to research a bit more on the net, there's plenty of answers guiding you how to do it. Stackoverflow is more pertaining to specific coding questions. I personally prefer using amazon ec2 for uploading my cakephp applications.
There's lots of tutorials on how to set up a free tier linux server instance on ec2 all over the net. Here's a great one:
http://www.comtechies.com/2013/01/how-to-host-dynamic-php-website-on.html
Once you have your instance set up, this is what you have to do:
In apache your public folder will be /var/www/ so anything you put in there will be directly accessible to people by URL. Use putty to connect to your server.
sudo service apache2 stop
This will stop your apache server for security reasons while you upload etc.
Copy your project to /var/www/cakephp such that your webroot lies in /var/www/cakephp/app/webroot.
type the following to describe location of cakePHP
nano /var/www/cakePHP/app/webroot/index.php
Go to the line starting with define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH' and make it define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', DS . 'var' . DS . 'www' . DS . cakephp . DS . lib') - assuming cakephp/lib is to be found in /var/www/cakephp/lib
Next, set the new document root:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
and wherever you see /var/www change it to /var/www/cakephp/app/webroot.
Also, in the change allowoverride none to allowoverride all the first two times they occur from the top of the document.
To allow apache to access your files and write to cache, execute the following commands:
sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/myproject -R
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/myproject/tmp -R
To allow CSS to be applied properly:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Restart apache:
sudo service apache2 start
Now everything should be working according to plan. If you have any further questions do hit me back!

Where to administer apache fallback directory

I have been put in charge of an Ubuntu 13 server installation. Apache is configured to use /var/www as the default directory which is correct. The issue is that it seems there is a fallback directory configured that points to /usr/share. So if I type into a browser (www.address.com) it will serve the documents out of /var/www, but if I know the name of a directory in /usr/share and type in (www.address.com/sharedir) then it will serve out of the /usr/share directory. I have looked in the apache config file and default site config file and do not see this association. I do not want this behavior and am concerned that this is the default behavior out of the box.
Can anyone guide me to another areas where this behavior may be controlled/managed.
Thanks for any assistance.
Open your
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default
file and replace
/var/www
to
/path/to/folder/you/wish
save and it will be better to restart apache by
service apache2 restart
Now put website contents to the new location /path/to/folder/you/wish.
Once you changed the Document root of the of the site as mentioned above, Then no files will be fetched from any other location. Hopes this will help you. :)
[SOLVED] After a bunch more digging around I discovered that the user that originally set up this server erroneously put .conf files in the 'conf.d' directory and 'mods-enabled' directory that were routing traffic to the other directories. Sorry to anyone that noodled on this one.

WordPress can't install themes

I can't workout how to solve this problem so wordpress would let me upload themes.
I have a fresh copy of Fedora 17 installed on my dev machine.
I then installed mysql using: yum install mysql mysql-server. Next I installed WordPress which also installs apache and php: yum install wordpress
I can go to http://localhost/wordpress and see WordPress working. But when I try tried to install my theme it asked for ftp credentials. I then updated the wp-config.php file and set the FS_METHOD constant to direct. Now it doesn't ask for ftp credentials but it gives me this error:
Could not create directory. /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/themes/my-theme-name/
httpd service is running under 'apache' user and 'apache' group. The /usr/share/wordpress/ directory is recursively own by 'apache' user and 'apache' group too. I've even set the permissions to 777 (also recursively) and even then I keep getting the same error as above.
How can I solve this problem?
Fedoras SELinux configuration is most probably blocking the attempts of the webserver to write to the disk. To change the settings for your wordpress folder you can run this command (as root):
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content
No need to do chmod 777 to the whole folder, this is a huge security risk. Of course this is for direct filesystem access, you have to disable the ftp access. For ftp access you will have to look up the right SELinux context.
You got the check these lines in your Wp-config.php (aproximatively line 105) :
define('FTP_USER', 'usr');
define('FTP_PASS', 'P#ssw0rd');
define('FTP_HOST', 'url');
You process of web server is running on apache but Wordpress will use the account define in the wp-config.php . So you got to set the group of your user to get access to these files.
Setting permissions 777 is not a solution, you got to care about it.
