Here is a quick little howto for quickly installing Darwin Streaming Server on a CentOS box:
cd /usr/src/
wget http://www.abrahamsson.com/DarwinStreamingServer-6.0.3-2.src.rpm
rpm -i DarwinStreamingServer-6.0.3-2.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
rpmbuild -bb DarwinStreamingServer.spec
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
yum --enablerepo=dag install perl-Net-SSLeay
rpm -U DarwinStreamingServer*
When DarwinStreamingServer is installed, you will notice tha the install hangs, but don’t worry. Let it stay for short while and then open up a new window. On the new window, type:
killall -9 DarwinStreamingServer
Once the install is complete you can change the administrator password:
qtpasswd administrator
let’s make sure the service starts on boot:
chkconfig –level 345 dss on
Then configure it via http://blablabla.com:1220 (allow firewall to accept connections to the port)
