RED5 is open source flash server written in java supports streaming audio\/video, recording client streams, shared objects, live stream publishing etc. In this short steps you can install red5 server on your virtual server or dedicated.<\/p>\n
This is post is being modified on 27th August 2013, the installation is for the Red5 version 0.8. as no one will use the 0.9\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6
\nDownload and Install Java<\/p>\n
RED5 server depends on Java, so lets install it first using yum:<\/p>\n
# yum -y install java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel
\nDownload and Install Ant (Apache Project)<\/p>\n
Ant will need to compile RED5 server code. Ant comes in binary form, so just download and install it in \/usr\/local directory. This step may cause problems because they all always updating the apache ant and changing the name of it, so sometimes the binary is called apache-ant-1.8.0RC1-bin.tar.gz sometimes apache-ant-1.8.0-bin.tar.gz so you will have to get the correct link, go to http:\/\/opensource.become.com\/apache\/ant\/binaries\/ (link not working) and find what they have, get the one which ends on tar.gz, should be about 9-10 mega file, so edit the link down to the correct one;<\/p>\n
# cd \/usr\/src
\n# wget http:\/\/mirrors.isu.net.sa\/pub\/apache\/\/ant\/binaries\/apache-ant-1.9.2-bin.tar.gz (working link today 8\/27\/2013)
\n# tar zxvf apache-ant-1.9.2-bin.tar.gz
\n# mv apache-ant-1.9.2\/ \/usr\/local\/ant
\nExport Variables for Ant and Java<\/p>\n
# export ANT_HOME=\/usr\/local\/ant
\n# export JAVA_HOME=\/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java
\n# export PATH=$PATH:\/usr\/local\/ant\/bin
\n# export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME\/lib\/classes.zip<\/p>\n
Also export these variables in \/etc\/bashrc to become available for every user login or for any terminal opens.<\/p>\n
# echo export ANT_HOME=\/usr\/local\/ant >> \/etc\/bashrc
\n# echo export JAVA_HOME=\/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java >> \/etc\/bashrc
\n# echo export PATH=$PATH:\/usr\/local\/ant\/bin >> \/etc\/bashrc
\n# echo export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME\/lib\/classes.zip >> \/etc\/bashrc
\nDownload and Install RED5 Server<\/p>\n
Now we come to the main part, which one you want? 0.8, 0.9, 0.7?? (using the 0.8 version)<\/p>\n
you can find the various versions available at:<\/p>\n
http:\/\/red5.org\/downloads\/red5<\/p>\n
if for example you want version 0.8, then the command would be:<\/p>\n
# cd \/usr\/local
\n# mkdir red5
\n# cd \/usr\/local\/red5
\n# wget http:\/\/red5.org\/downloads\/red5\/0_8\/red5-0.8.0.tar.gz
\n# tar -zxvf red5-0.8.0.tar.gz
\n# sh red5.sh &
\nwait 2 minutes before you close the cmd window, then use:
\n# CTRL + A + D<\/p>\n
if you just close the cmd window the red5 will stop, you must log off using the CTRL + A + D<\/p>\n
When Red5 is running you should be able to access http:\/\/your-server-domain-or-ip:5080\/ .<\/p>\n
If it works first thing go to http:\/\/your-server:5080\/installer\/and install admin. Then to http:\/\/your-server:5080\/admin\/register.html and register an username and password. Then you can check application statistics anytime from http:\/\/your-server:5080\/admin\/ with server ip and the registered username, password.<\/p>\n
RED 5 RESTART<\/p>\n
You need to restart every time you add or update files in the \/usr\/local\/red5\/webapps folder where all applications should be installed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
