1. Install Java
# yum -y install java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel
2. Install Ant
# cd /usr/local/src
# wget http://red5.svnlabs.com/apache-ant-1.8.2-bin.tar.gz
# tar zxvf apache-ant-1.8.2-bin.tar.gz
# mv apache-ant-1.8.2 /usr/local/ant
3. Export path for Ant and Java
Make sure you have right paths (java, ant etc.) on your server, I have used 32-bits CentOS server … home path might be different on 64-bits or other server 😉
# 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
Also add these lines in /etc/bashrc at last to available every-time logged in to SSH
4. Install SVN
#Â yum install subversion
5. Install RED5 Server
# cd /usr/local/src
# svn checkout http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/java/server/trunk/ red5
# mv red5 /usr/local/
# cd /usr/local/red5
# ant prepare
# ant dist
6. Copy Red5 files
# cp -r dist/conf /usr/local/red5
7. Test Run
# sh red5.sh
ctrl + z
You need to allow port 5080 and 1935 to your server firewall.
# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 5080 -j ACCEPT
# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 1935 -j ACCEPT
Red5 Server Status
# netstat -anp | grep 5080
# ps aux | grep red5
http://yourserver.com:5080/
If you have CentOS 64-bits server and you are getting error like
– Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
– BUILD FAILED
– Cannot allocate memory
You might need to checkout modified files
# cd /usr/local/src
# svn co http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/java/server/tags/1_0/ red5
Build Failed (Life saver)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Cannot run program “chmod”: java.io.IOException: error=12, Cannot allocate memory
# export _JAVA_OPTIONS=’-Xms32m -Xmx56m -Xss128k -XX:PermSize=32m -XX:MaxPermSize=64m’
# export ANT_OPTS=’-Xms32m -Xmx56m -Xss128k -XX:PermSize=32m -XX:MaxPermSize=64m’
