RTMPS sslKey / sslCert File Paths

RTMPS sslKey / sslCert File Paths

I have been trying to setup RTMPS on EMS v1.7 and have been having problems with getting the sslKey / sslCert parameters setup correctly. In config.lua I have setup the sslKey/sslCert paths using absolute path, but EMS is unable to start (running as service) when RTMPS is enabled. If I run EMS from the command line and ensure I’m running from the same directory where the cert / key are located I can get this to work. This does not work: sslKey=”/etc/evostream/myserver.key”, sslCert=”/etc/evostream/myserver.crt”, This works if running CLI and launch from the same location as key /cert: sslKey=”myserver.key”, sslCert=”myserver.crt”, Is this a known issue? Does absolute path need to be specified in different way?

Hi, May I request for the config.lua file that you used to do the test? May I also request for the Evostream Log files under the folder /var/log/evostreamms? To help us sift through the log files, please do the following steps first:
  1. Make sure EMS is not running.  
  2. Delete the contents of /var/log/evostreamms.
  3. Attempt to start EMS as a service using you RTMPS configured config.lua file.
  4. Send us the log files that were generated in /var/log/evostreamms when you attempted to start EMS as a service.
Thanks!

When I first encountered this problem I followed these steps and found that EMS would simply fail to start and would not produce any log files. Here is the config.lua I am using: config

Hi, I checked the paths that you set in the config.lua file: sslKey=”/etc/evostream/watchtower-security.key”,
sslCert=”/etc/evostream/watchtower-security.crt”, If you placed the watchtower-security.key/crt files under the evostream installation folder, then you may have an incorrect sslKey/sslCert path in your RTMPS. Please change it to sslKey=”/etc/evostreamms/watchtower-security.key”,
sslCert=”/etc/evostreamms/watchtower-security.crt”,   Also, if you check the webrtc section of your config.lua, your key/cert path is correctly set to “/etc/evostreamms/watchtower….”.
