Next Steps

Ok I am very lost. I have the server set up and I have media encoder streaming to it. I can see my stream when I open the multitask viewer file from the server directory. But how do I view it by putting in "localhost" or my ip address? I have the ports forwarded but nothing seems to be connecting with the server. Sorry if this is an obvious question. Essentially what I am trying to do at this point it direct my ip address to the player, I'm guessing the stobe media player. I have no idea where to install this player into the apache server and no idea how to access that installation from the web. Again, yes my ports are forwarded. Thank you!
