i am trying to stream a file that I have in my directory using ffmpeg and ffserver. But an error occurs in both ffmpeg and ffserver. The following is my ffserver config file.
HTTPPort 8092

I am able to start ffserver properly with no problems but when i try to serve ffserver with a file using ffmpeg, this happens

Can someone please help me?
If you have the file in your directory you could try to skip the feed section. This way, ffserver will make the file ready for streaming when the server gets started and you don't have to use the ffmpeg-command.
Instead of :
<Stream live.webm>
Feed feed1.ffm
...
Use:
<Stream live.webm>
Format webm #if needed
File "sam.webm"
...
You might want to go through the feed, if you want to manipulate the file first.
