MP4 streaming using Apache + WHM/cPanel
Streaming MP4 files with Apache + h264_streaming has never been easier. Setup your web server to stream MP4 files using Apache in just 3 minutes.
cd /usr/local/src wget http://h264.code-shop.com/download/apache_mod_h264_streaming-2.2.7.tar.gz cd mod_h264_streaming-2.2.7 ./configure --with-apxs='which apxs' make && make install
Non WHM/cPanel users
Should now add those two lines into httpd.conf:
LoadModule h264_streaming_module /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_h264_streaming.so AddHandler h264-streaming.extensions .mp4
and simply restart Apache using:
service httpd restart
WHM/cPanel users
Should use Include Editor since any changes made to httpd.conf will be lost in case of rebuilding apache.
So login to WHM and go to Apache Configuration -> Include Editor -> Pre Main Include -> All Versions and in the box that appears copy/paste following two lines and after saving that confirm Apache restart.
LoadModule flvx_module modules/mod_flvx.so AddHandler flv-stream .flv
Here are a few pictures for newbies so they can find their way trough more easily:
1. Apache Configuration
2. Include Editor
3. Locate PreMain Include – select All Versions
4. Copy/paste those two lines and press Update (then confirm Apache reload)
That’s it!
