The following step by step guideline helps to install red5 on Centos Server.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. Install Java.<\/p>\n
========
\nyum -y install java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel
\n========<\/p>\n
2. Install ant.<\/p>\n
========
\nyum list | grep ant\u00a0 \/\/ check whether ant is available in yum

\ntar jxvf apache-ant-1.8.2-bin.tar.bz2
\nmv apache-ant-1.8.2 \/usr\/local\/ant
\n========<\/p>\n
3. Export variables for ant and Java using by executing the following commands in command line.<\/p>\n
========
\nexport ANT_HOME=\/usr\/local\/ant
\nexport JAVA_HOME=\/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java
\nexport PATH=$PATH:\/usr\/local\/ant\/bin
\nexport CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME\/lib\/classes.zip<\/p>\n
echo ‘export ANT_HOME=\/usr\/local\/ant’ >> \/etc\/bashrc
\necho ‘export JAVA_HOME=\/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java’ >> \/etc\/bashrc
\necho ‘export PATH=$PATH:\/usr\/local\/ant\/bin’ >> \/etc\/bashrc
\necho ‘export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME\/lib\/classes.zip’ >> \/etc\/bashrc
\n========<\/p>\n
4. Install subversion and perl.<\/p>\n
========
\nyum install perl-URI
\nyum install subversion
\n========<\/p>\n
Note : If you face difficulty in installing subversion, then you can temporarily remove perl from the \/etc\/yum.conf exclude line, install subversion, then add perl back to the \/etc\/yum.conf exclude line after you’ve gotten subversion installed.<\/p>\n
5. Install Red5<\/p>\n
========
\nsvn checkout http:\/\/red5.googlecode.com\/svn\/java\/server\/trunk\/ red5
\nmv red5 \/usr\/local\/
\ncd \/usr\/local\/red5<\/p>\n
ant prepare
\nant dist
\ncp -r dist\/conf .
\n========<\/p>\n
6. Start Red5<\/p>\n
========
\n.\/red5.sh &
\n========<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
7. Add init file to start the service red5.<\/p>\n
=======
\ncd \/etc\/init.d\/
\nwget http:\/\/www.sohailriaz.com\/downloads\/red5.txt
\nmv red5.txt red5
\nchmod +x red5
\nservice red5 start
\n=======<\/p>\n
8. Install red5 “admin page” and “add user page” by installing the following plugins.<\/p>\n
=======
\nGet the plugins:<\/p>\n
cd \/root\/tmp
\nmkdir \/usr\/local\/red5\/plugins
\nwget http:\/\/red5.googlecode.com\/files\/AdminPlugin-1.0.zip
\nunzip -d \/usr\/local\/red5\/plugins AdminPlugin-1.0.zip<\/p>\n
Code:<\/p>\n
Get the Red5 admin register page:<\/p>\n
mkdir \/usr\/local\/red5\/webapps\/admin
\nwget http:\/\/red5.googlecode.com\/files\/admin.jsp
\nmv admin.jsp \/usr\/local\/red5\/webapps\/admin
\n=======<\/p>\n
Note :<\/p>\n
The user add panel can be accessed using “http:\/\/Ip address of the server:5080\/admin\/admin.jsp”.
\nThe 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.<\/p>\n
Check the working of Red5 using “http:\/\/Ip address of the server:5080\/demos\/publisher.html”. Play the sample video in webapps.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
