Install Darwin Streaming Server on CentOS



Darwin streaming server is an open source version of the Quicktime Streaming Server shipped by Apple on their top of the line X-Serve servers. But Centos can easily handle it too!

First, download the binary for the server (not the proxy!) from http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/streaming/

copy it to the server and untar it.

Next, before you try to install it, you need an older library you don't have as standard, so use
yum install compat-libstdc++-33
to get it and install it.

Then, cd to the Darwin directory you made earlier, and use ./Install to begin the quick and simple setup process.

It will ask you to supply a user name and password then you can connect to it with
http://myserver:1220 obviously putting the domain name or IP address of your blue quarts box in there.

To make DSS start when the system boots up type
nano /etc/rc.d/rc.local

and add
/usr/sbin/DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5-Linux/streamingadminserver.pl
