Streaming Server Admin
QuickTime Streaming Server (QTSS) is a technology that delivers media over the Internet in
real time. With streaming, your users can tune in to a broadcast of live or prerecorded media,
or they can view prerecorded media on demand. Users see streamed media as soon as it
reaches their computers; they don’t have to wait to download files. To set up and manage
QuickTime Streaming Server, you use the Web-based Streaming Server Admin program.
Install Streaming Server Admin
Streaming Server Admin is installed with Mac OS X Server. The application requires Netscape
Navigator, Netscape Communicator, or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.5 or later. Read
Chapter 9, “QuickTime Streaming Server,” in the Mac OS X Server Administrator’s Guide, to
find out how to access Streaming Server Admin using your Web browser.
WebObjects
WebObjects Deployment provides the architecture and tools to deploy your WebObjects
applications on an intranet or the World Wide Web. It supplies the necessary Web server
adaptors as well as WebObjects Monitor. You can also use the command-line tool wotaskd to
remotely view server instances and generate statistical data on your deployed applications.
The Admin Tools CD has more information about WebObjects, located in:
Admin Tools/Documentation/WebObjects Documents
Install WebObjects
WebObjects comes already installed on your Xserve. If you need to reinstall it (because you
partitioned disks), you can do so either locally on the server or remotely using the Installer
command-line tool.
Local Installation Instructions
1 Insert the Mac OS X Server CD and go to the WebObjects 5.1 Deployment folder located in:
Welcome to Mac OS X Server/Additional Installs
2 Double-click the item named “WebObjects_X_Deployment.mpkg.”
3 When prompted, enter an admin user name and password. Then click Continue.
4 Read the software license agreement and click Continue. If you agree to its terms, click Agree
to continue with the installation.
Important Before you set up QTSS, read Chapter 9, “QuickTime Streaming Server,” in the
Mac OS X Server Administrator’s Guide. It includes hardware and software requirements
and all the information you need to plan and set up your streaming server.
