IOS playback stopped working

Question

I've installed Flash Media Interactive Server 4.5 and after installation I successfully streamed to iOS devices.
Today, streaming to iOS devices, suddenly stopped working. Streaming to other Flash compatible devices works just fine.
I use JWPlayer to connect and that gives the following error message:
The video playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the video used features your browser did not support:
http://my.fms.url/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/live/mystream.m3u8
Some times, if I reload the site and try again, I do get a few seconds of playback of the live stream, then the playback stops with the same error message, and I can't seem to be able to play back the stream ever again.
I've tried deleting the .stream-files generated in the ApplicationsFolder\livepkgr\events\_definst_\live as well as the files generated in ApplicationsFolder\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\mystream but that doesn't help.
I use Adobe Media Live Encoder 3.2 to stream to the server, using H.264 and AAC.
As I mentioned, this has worked before and, as far as I remember, haven't made any configuration changes since it last worked.

Answer 1

I tried stopping the server and deleting the livepkgr streams and events, and when I restarted the server (and live stream) it seems to work correctly again. I do believe my live streams problems was also present some time after having done this earlier so I'm gonna stream for a bit now, stop it, then start again tomorrow to see if I can still stream correctly.
In the meantime, here's my httpd.conf as requested:
# This is the main Apache server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/> for detailed information.
# In particular, see
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
# Please see httpd.conf.orig for the configuration of a default
# (non-FMS) installation of apache.
Listen 80
# If you plan to run FMS as root on linux, you _must_ specify a
# valid user, with access to the FMS installation direction, or
# apache will not run.
# If you've used the default installer, nobody (or whatever other
# username you gave to the installer) will work here.
# If you're running a developer build under your own home directory,
# you should use your own username.
