Setting up RHEL5 Streaming Media Server-Red5

Red5 is an open-source Flash streaming media server developed using Java. It supports: Converting audio (MP3) and video (FLV) into playing streams; recording client playback streams (only FLV); Sharing objects; releasing live streams; remote calls. Red5 uses RSTP as the streaming media transmission protocol. In some of its examples, it demonstrates some basic functions such as online recording, flash streaming media playback, online chat, and video conferencing. 1: download and install java Development Environment http://java.sun.com/jav

1: download and install the java Development Environment

2: install Apache-ant
[Root @ server2 ~] # Cd/usr/local/src/tarbag/
[Root @ server2 tarbag] # wget http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/software/apache/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.8.0-bin.tar.gz
[Root @ server2 tarbag] # tar-zxvf apache-ant-1.8.0-bin.tar.gz-C/usr/local/
[Root @ server2 tarbag] # mv/usr/local/apache-ant-1.8.0 // usr/local/ant
[Root @ server2 tarbag] # ln-s/usr/local/ant/bin/ant/usr/bin/ant

3: download the latest version of red5 and use ant to compile www.6688.cc.
[Root @ server2 tarbag] # cd ../software/
[Root @ server2 software] # svn co http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/java/server/trunk
Checked out revision 4067.
[Root @ server2 software] # cd trunk/
[Root @ server2 trunk] # ant server
[Root @ server2 trunk] # cp-r dist // usr/local/red5

4. Start the service.
[Root @ server2 ~] # Cd/usr/local/red5/
[Root @ server2 ~] #./Red5.sh &
[Root @ server2 ~] # Netstat-ntpl | grep java
Tcp 0 0: 1935: * LISTEN 6929/java
Tcp 0 0: 9999: * LISTEN 6929/java
Tcp 0 0: 34071: * LISTEN 6929/java
Tcp 0 0: 5080: * LISTEN 6929/java
Enter http: // ip: 5080. After the instance is installed online, you can view the movies in the instance. If the instance cannot be connected to port 5080, restart the service, kill-9 'pidof Java' first, and then run the preceding STARTUP script. This problem occurs on both servers I installed. If you don't know why, restart the server.
