Trying to do something that shouldnt be that hard. I have installed unreal media server. I am trying to stream MP4 files via HTTP. I have set up the virtual directory that holds the MP4 files. How do you set it up so you can browse to http://ipaddress/filename.mp4 and have the file play?

For that you don't need any streaming server; you just need a web server.
If you are seeking a youtube-like functionality, you can find many player-webserver packages that do that; no streaming server is involved.

"HTTP streaming" via streaming server is rather confusing term and can mean: Apple Live HTTP Streaming; Microsoft Smooth Streaming;
Microsoft MS-WMSP streaming; Unreal UMS via HTTP streaming; RTSP-RTP via HTTP tunnel streaming; RTMPT Flash streaming.

I wanted to find out how to set up unreal media server as a MP4 streaming server. I basically have a video player embedded on a web page that has HTML5/Flash player. I need unreal to serve that player with a file given a url to a mp4 file(s), to play in the video player. I see how to set up the virtual directory so my MP4 files show up in unreal, but not sure how to set it up so it will stream that file(s) given an http:// path, for example http://ipaddress/mp4 file

html5 video tag does not work with streaming server; it works with webserver only, via the link you want: http://ipaddress/mp4 file

Flash player - Yes - it gets video from streaming server via RTMP protocol (this is not HTTP-based protocol) or RTMPT protocol (Yes, this one is HTTP based)
Unreal Media Server supports both RTMP and RTMPT protocols so you can do it. You just need to provide an RTMP link to the player; look at our demo page; there are samples in the SDK package.

Looked at SDK, still not sure. Basically I have a live static server set up with the ip address of the server and id 5 set. Still cant play file(s) by connecting to rtmpt://ipaddress:port/file.mp4. Not sure how to set it up. If it is too difficult to post the process here, let me know, so I wont keep wasting my time on this server. Thanks

From the SDK....works for me with Apache. Virtual folder mediaroot in example. Flashplayer folder from SDK in root of web server. Address - youripaddress/webpage.html (code below).
