[FFserver-user] Almost have ffserver operational on a shared web server

Hello,

I'd like to stream my desktop to a shared web server. All codec work will be on 
my client, so should not place much burden on the shared web server. Almost have 
it all working.

The last issue is access to ffserver remotely through the web server's dedicated 
IP and open port. Yes, I've tested the port and indeed it is open and 
functional. 

So here is the isolated issue:

wget from ssh on my shared server returns code 200, and ffmpeg (yes, I compiled 
that to on the shared server just for testing purposes) streams correctly to 
ffserver.

But, from an external client, wget returns a 404 error. Probably just an Apache 
error. But, thought I'd post in this forum to see if any have suggestions.

Here's the command line...
wget http://domain_name.com:9090/feed1.ffm

and here's the responses...

Through ssh on my shared web server:

Connecting to domain_name.com|(ip address)|:9090... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: unspecified []
Saving to: `feed1.ffm'

But, from the remote terminal where I intend to stream my feed:

Connecting to domain_name.com|(ip address)|:9090... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
2011-11-01 21:06:24 ERROR 404: Not Found.

Thanks,
Doug
