How to publish rtmp stream in Wowza?

Solution
I think that you can do it with two way . I understand that you wanna get a stream from anywhere else , and want to stream it over your wowza server , or wanna save the X stream and start re-streaming it over wowza .
First way , you can get the live stream via ffmpeg
ffmpeg -i rtmp://remoteXstreamFromAnyWhereElse/playlist/first -f flv
rtmp://yourWowzaIp:1935/live/now .
From now on you take the stream with ffmpeg and re stream it to wowza . And in live example you can reach your "now" stream well.
The other is again with ffmpeg
ffmpeg -i rtmp://remoteZstream/StreamsName/fileName -vcodec copy -acodec copy
-f new.avi
and the other cmd command is like that
ffmpeg -i video="new.avi" -r 30 -b:v 128k -f flv rtmp://wowzaIp/live/now2
The other way is [and the best way for me ]
Edit the xml StartupStream in C:\Program Files\Wowza Media Systems\Wowza Media Server 3.1.2\conf
Add the following line to the
<StartupStreams><StartupStream><Application>live/_definst_</Application<MediaCasterType>rtp</MediaCasterType><StreamName>rtsp://yourRemoteZReStreamingProviderServer/App/File<StreamName> </StartupStream>
Then restart the wowza server . You can see that in console the stream starts . The fastest way is to re stream that anystream . For further more information find rlanham in wowza .
Problem
I want to publish one rtmp stream from rtmp://someothersite.com/live/ and deliver the m3u8 stream to ios and android device. I decide to use Wowza and have done some settings following by this article http://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?36 There is: ``` Publishing the stream (RTMP based encoder) Enter the Server URL and Stream Name information below and click the Publish or Start button on the encoder: Server URL: rtmp://[wowza-address]/live Stream Name: myStream ``` I want to know where need I input the server url and name ?
