The most effective method to Install RED5 Server on Centos 5.3

In this how to i will depict how to introduce RED5 server on Centos 5.3. This how to can be utilized to introduce RED5 server on Centos 4 and Fedora 8 – 11 too. RED5 is open source streak server written in java bolsters spilling sound/video, recording customer streams, shared items, live stream distributed and so forth.

1) Download and Install Java 

RED5 server relies on upon Java. CentOS 5.3 accompanies OpenJDK 1.6 and introduce it utilizing yum.

yum -y install java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel

2) Download and Install Ant and Ivy (Apache Project) 

Subterranean insect should gather RED5 server code. Subterranean insect comes in paired structure, so simply download and introduce it in/usr/nearby registry.

cd /usr/src
wget http://mirrors.isu.net.sa/pub/apache//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

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/

3) Export Variables for Ant and Java

export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ant/bin
Also export these variables in /etc/bashrc to become available for every user login or for any terminal opens.

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

4) Download and Install RED5 Server

Here the most recent rendition accessible for RED5 is 0.7 on location however download from google code utilizing svn as the tarball of 0.7 on location is feeling the loss of a portion of the records.

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

Assemble SUCCESSFUL

that is mean its introduce and now duplicate the conf registry from dist/and test the red5 establishment.

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

In the event that it demonstrates Installer administration made in the last then all is well here, press ctrl+c and move to next stride to make init script.

5) Init Script

Presently we will make init script for red5 to begin, stop and restart effectively.

vi /etc/init.d/red5

#!/bin/sh
# For RedHat and cousins:
# chkconfig: 2345 85 85
# description: Red5 Hosting flash streaming server
# processname: red5
PROG=red5
RED5_HOME=/usr/local/red5
DAEMON=$RED5_HOME/$PROG.sh
PIDFILE=/var/run/$PROG.pid
# Source function library
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
[ -r /etc/sysconfig/red5 ] && . /etc/sysconfig/red5
RETVAL=0
case “$1″ in
start)
echo -n $”Starting $PROG: ”
cd $RED5_HOME
$DAEMON >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &
RETVAL=$?
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.

6) Test

Now test the RED5 Hosting installation by opening following URL in browser

http://yourip:5080/
you will see red5 page like this
and demos can be find here.
http://yourip:5080/demos/
You can use simple port tester tool that determines which ports the Flash Player is able to connect through to the Red5 server. Put your server address or IP in HOST when using port tester. You should get SUCCESS on RTMP or port 1935. If not please check your firewall.

7) ISSUE

When you run ./red5.sh, it will indicate you Installer administration made. Thats mean everything runs fine and red5 server is up. In any case, on the off chance that you went to port_tester.swf utilizing demos above or your application demonstrates associations FAILS, this is an issue of RTMPT and RTMPTS. You can see it by running

/usr/local/red5/red5.sh
output trancated
[INFO] [main] org.red5.server.tomcat.TomcatLoader – RTMPT server bean was not found
[INFO] [main] org.red5.server.tomcat.TomcatLoader – RTMPS server bean was not found
output truncated
If you see this you have to uncomment the RTMPT and RTMPTS TomcatLoader in/usr/local/red5/conf/red5-core.xml
vi /usr/local/red5/conf/red5-core.xml
Search for a lines
<!– RTMPT –>
<!–
<bean id=”rtmpt.server” class=”org.red5.server.net.rtmpt.TomcatRTMPTLoader” init-method=”init” lazy-init=”true”>
Remove the <!– from start of <bean and –> from end of </bean>
Same goes for RTMPS
<!– RTMPS –>
<!–
<bean id=”rtmps.server” class=”org.red5.server.net.rtmps.TomcatRTMPSLoader” init-method=”init” lazy-init=”true”>
Remove the <!– from start of <bean and –> from end of </bean>

Restart the red5 Hosting services and connection fails problem will be fixed.
