On  this is how to I will describe how to install RED5 server on Centos 5.6.x This how to can be used to install RED5 server on Centos 4, Centos 4, Redhat and Fedora 8 – 11 as well. RED5 is open source flash server written in java supports streaming audio/video, recording client streams, shared objects, live stream publishing etc.

1) Download and Install Java

RED5 server depends on Java. CentOS 5.6 comes with OpenJDK 1.6 and install it using yum.

yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel java-1.6.0-openjdk-javadoc java-1.6.0-openjdk-src

2) Download and Install Ant (Apache Project)

Ant will need to compile RED5 server code. Ant comes in binary form, so just download and install it in /usr/local directory.

cd /usr/src
wget http://apache.sunsite.ualberta.ca/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.8.2-bin.tar.bz2
tar jxvf apache-ant-1.8.2-bin.tar.bz2
mv apache-ant-1.8.2 /usr/local/ant

 

or

cd /usr/src/

wget http://apache.forthnet.gr/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.8.3-bin.tar.bz2

tar jxvf apache-ant-1.8.3-bin.tar.bz2

mv apache-ant-1.8.3 /usr/local/ant

Install IVY

cd /usr/src
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ant/ivy/core/trunk ivy
cd ivy
ant jar
cp build/artifact/jars/ivy.jar /usr/local/ant/lib/

EXPORT VARIABLES FOR ANT AND JAVA RED5

 

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
export RED5_HOME=/usr/local/red5

vi /etc/bashrc

# ALSO Put the Above Here
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
export RED5_HOME=/usr/local/red5

Now download the latest RED5 CODE from the site to build 

Here the latest version available for RED5 is 1.0 on site but download from google code .

cd /usr/src
svn checkout http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/java/server/trunk/ red5
mv red5 /usr/local/
cd /usr/local/red5
ant prepare
ant dist

you will see a ton of lines, but you should get at last

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Personally since red5 last version was not working in my case properly i use red5 0.9.1 so in order to install

cd /usr/src/

svn co http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/java/server/tags/0_9_1 red5-0.9.1.svn
rename 
red5-0.9.1.svn
 to red5
mv red5 /usr/local/
cd /usr/local/red5
ant prepare
ant dist

you will see a ton of lines, but you should get at last

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

that’s mean its install and now copy the conf directory from dist/ and test the red5 installation.

cp -r dist/conf .
./red5.sh

If it shows Installer service created in the last then everything is fine here, press ctrl+c and move to next step to create init script.

5) Init Script

Now we will create init script for red5 to start, stop and restart easily.

wget http://installer.dazzlesoftware.ca/red5.tar.gz

tar zvfx red5.tar.gz

mv -f red5 /etc/init.d

Now start the service

/etc/init.d/red5 start

check status

/etc/init.d/red5 status
red5 (pid  XXXXX) is running…

again you can do stop, restart.

6) Test

Now test the RED5 installation by opening following URL in browser

http://yourip:5080/

http://yourip:5080/demos/

http://yourip:5080/installer/ to install scripts

f you face

HTTP Status 404 - /admin/register.html

type Status report

message /admin/register.html

description The requested resource (/admin/register.html) is not available.

Apache Tomcat/6.0.26

if you faced this types of problem then follow this steps

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

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

then again restart Red5 (/etc/init.d/red5 restart)/(service red5 restart)

Init Script

If you want to create init script for red5 to start, stop and restart easily.

vi /etc/init.d/red5

download http://www.sohailriaz.com/downloads/red5.txt and copy / paste code in it. The init script code also be viewed below.

#!/bin/sh
# For RedHat and cousins:
# chkconfig: 2345 85 85

DAEMON=$RED5_HOME/$PROG.sh
PIDFILE=/var/run/$PROG.pid

[ -r /etc/sysconfig/red5 ] && . /etc/sysconfig/red5

case “$1″ in

echo -n $”Starting $PROG: ”
cd $RED5_HOME

if [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ]; then
echo $! > $PIDFILE
touch /var/lock/subsys/$PROG

fi
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && success $”$PROG startup” || failure $”$PROG startup”
echo

stop)
echo -n $”Shutting down $PROG: ”
killproc -p $PIDFILE
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/$PROG

restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
status)
status $PROG -p $PIDFILE
RETVAL=$?
;;
*)
echo $”Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}”
RETVAL=1
esac

exit $RETVAL

Enable executable permission

chmod +x /etc/init.d/red5

Now start the service

/etc/init.d/red5 start

check status

/etc/init.d/red5 status
red5 (pid  XXXXX) is running…

again you can do stop, restart.
