I think you've misinterpreted my meaning. See below.

I was not referring to a './configure' script or a Makefile, used when
compiling the program. I was referring to a file which the server
program will read when it starts running and which it will take its
settings from, used when running the program. This kind of file is
referred to as a configuration file: it is a file containing the
program's configuration settings.

There is almost certainly such a file for your RTSP server. You would do
very well to find out what and where it is, and what the settings inside
are.


Thank you for not top-posting entirely; however, part of the point of
correct interleaved posting is to cut out the parts you are not
responding to. You left the entire message quoted at the bottom of your
reply, which is not a significant improvement.
