| This post will explain a simple process for installing a Red5 Flash Media server in a VPS or Dedicated environment. Install Subversion and Java
yum -y install java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel yum -y install subversion Install Ant
cd /opt wget http://mirrors.kahuki.com/apache/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.bz2 tar jxvf apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.bz2 mv apache-ant-1.8.1 ant ln -s /opt/ant/bin/ant /usr/bin/ant
Result: /opt/ant Export some variables and add to bashrc:
export ANT_HOME=/opt/ant export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java export PATH=$PATH:/opt/ant/bin export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/classes.zip
echo 'export ANT_HOME=/opt/ant' >> /etc/bashrc echo 'export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java' >> /etc/bashrc echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/opt/ant/bin' >> /etc/bashrc echo 'export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/classes.zip' >> /etc/bashrc Install Red5:
cd /opt svn co http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/java/server/trunk red5 cd red5 ant prepare ant dist Create an init script
By default you have to use red5′s inherent scripts to start/stop, which can be a bit annoying. Create a file called /etc/init.d/red5 and past int he following:
#!/bin/sh # For RedHat servers # description: Red5 flash media server # processname: red5 PROG=red5 RED5_HOME=/opt/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
*Note that WordPress has a strange way of outputting double quotes, so make sure you address those in the script! Now, chmod 755 /etc/init.d/red5 and run:
chkconfig red5 on
This will run Red5 on startup. With the init script, you can now start, stop, and restart red5 as needed, ex:
service red5 restart
red5 should now run port 5080 and rtmp service on port 1935. You may need to open these ports in your server's firewall. Test:
