RTSP is not working with APF Firewall

[Aziz]

I get this error @ Darwin Streaming Server (QTSS):

2006-07-13 17:21:11: WARNING: Another process is already using the following RTSP port: 554

2006-07-13 17:21:11: WARNING: Another process is already using the following RTSP port: 7070

2006-07-13 17:21:11: WARNING: Another process is already using the following RTSP port: 8000

2006-07-13 17:21:11: WARNING: Another process is already using the following RTSP port: 8001

2006-07-13 17:21:11: WARNING: Streaming Server failed to listen on all requested RTSP port(s).

2006-07-13 17:21:11: WARNING: Streaming Server is not listening for RTSP on any ports.

I tried to enter the port numbers into the apf config file, but it wouldn't help (in IG_TCP_CPORTS).

Anyone got it to work before?

Files are quicktime format and are located outside the public_html directory and are streamed through rtsp.

thank you,

Those errors tell me something else is listening on those ports. Try using lsof to determine what process is using those ports then stop them before trying to run this server.

Using lsof -i :554, I get:

[root@server ~]# lsof -i :554
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE   DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
DarwinStr 770 qtss    6u  IPv4 15872006       TCP *:rtsp (LISTEN)
DarwinStr 770 qtss   28u  IPv4 23118803       TCP server.marsaldesign.com:rtsp->adsl-68-248-73-204.dsl.sfldmi.ameritech.net:2181 (ESTABLISHED)
[root@server ~]#

thanks,

 

[toml]

Try
lsof -p :554
You need the colon for ports

Try
lsof -p :554
You need the colon for ports

that was fast, I just tried -i for the port as the documentation said (p is for the process).

above post has new findings.

Now its saying darwin is listening, but in the control panel its not!

let me check file location to make sure.

thanks

 

[toml]

Looks like the DarwinStr application is listening to that port.
