3. Export variables for ant and Java using by executing the following commands in command line.

========
export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ant/bin
export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/classes.zip

echo ‘export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant’ >> /etc/bashrc
echo ‘export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java’ >> /etc/bashrc
echo ‘export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ant/bin’ >> /etc/bashrc
echo ‘export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/classes.zip’ >> /etc/bashrc

cd /usr/local/red5

ant prepare
ant dist
cp -r dist/conf .
========

6. Start Red5

========

Important : Red5 stops connecting when the script is terminated. Inform the client about the bug in red5. Also, it can be executed in screen or make the script to be started in init level. This is very important.

7. Add init file to start the service red5.

=======
cd /etc/init.d/
wget http://www.sohailriaz.com/downloads/red5.txt
mv red5.txt red5
chmod +x red5

8. Install red5 “admin page” and “add user page” by installing the following plugins.

=======
Get the plugins:

cd /root/tmp
mkdir /usr/local/red5/plugins
wget http://red5.googlecode.com/files/AdminPlugin-1.0.zip
unzip -d /usr/local/red5/plugins AdminPlugin-1.0.zip

Code:

Get the Red5 admin register page:

mkdir /usr/local/red5/webapps/admin
wget http://red5.googlecode.com/files/admin.jsp
mv admin.jsp /usr/local/red5/webapps/admin
=======

Note :

The user add panel can be accessed using “http://Ip address of the server:5080/admin/admin.jsp”.
The admin panel can be accessed using “http://Ip address of the server:5080/demos/adminPanel.html”. Since the installation of admin page is in demos it is demo. You can try copying/moving the admin page as per your convenience.

Check the working of Red5 using “http://Ip address of the server:5080/demos/publisher.html”. Play the sample video in webapps.

Note : Replace the localhost with the ip address. And then click connect. Give the sample video file to be played and click enter. The player should play the video.
