Question / Help OBS and NGINX on same computer rinning Windows 10 Pro

[michaelbyrd]

Hello, and thank you for your help in advance.
I have a machine at the elementary school that I am employed at, that is running OBS. We use it to record our school news. I would also like to make it the streaming server for the local network here at school, so that we can do live broadcasting. I have installed Nginx 1.17.xx Lizard, and it responds properly when I test it with "localhost" in the url. However, I get an error in OBS when I try to start streaming to it. I have read a lot, and put in the settings as instructed in all my readings. But I still get the error that OBS Failed to connect to the server. For the moment, this machine needs to be the recording/streaming machine. Please assist.

NGINX either isn't running, or is refusing the connection. It may be refusing if NGINX isn't properly configured. I assume you used the usual OBS-NGINX guide?

How to set up your own private RTMP server using nginx

Most people who stream enjoy using services such as Twitch.tv or Ustream to deliver video to viewers, and that works well enough. But sometimes you want some more control over your stream, or you want other people to be able to stream to you, or...

Yes I did. Also, I just uninstalled IIS and rebooted. But that didn't solve the problem. The latest log is attached.

Hey - I quit nginx, then executed it again, started the stream and it worked. It runs fine from my machine. I don't really know what the problem was. But its working. It seems when I enabled the delay under Advanced Settings, that seems to have done something. Either way, things are working fine. Thanks for your help.
