Install Red5 server on CentOS 6.7 (actual for summer 2015)

There are a lot of tutorials, but all of them are old and not correct. This is the fresh one.
1. First, we need to install openjdk.
# yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel -y



2. Install Ant
# cd /usr/local/src
# wget http://archive.apache.org/dist/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.9.6-bin.tar.gz
# tar zxvf apache-ant-1.9.6-bin.tar.gz
# mv apache-ant-1.9.6/ /usr/local/ant

3. Export paths for all needed software (Java & Ant) 
# 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
# echo "export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant" >> /etc/bashrc
# echo "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java" >> /etc/bashrc
# echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ant/bin" >> /etc/bashrc
# echo "export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/classes.zip" >> /etc/bashrc

 4. Download and install Red5
# wget http://obed.am/red5-server-1.0.4-RELEASE-server.tar.gz
# tar zxvf red5-server-1.0.4-RELEASE-server.tar.gz
# mv /usr/local/src/red5-server-1.0.4-RELEASE /usr/local/red5

5. Download and install init script
# wget -O /etc/init.d/red5 http://obed.am/red5.txt
# chmod +x /etc/init.d/red5


6. Allow connections on red5 ports (5080 and 1935)

# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp –dport 5080 -j ACCEPT

# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp –dport 1935 -j ACCEPT

7. Now we need to add red5 to autorun

# chkconfig red5 on

8. Red5 Server Command

# /etc/init.d/red5 start
# /etc/init.d/red5 stop
# /etc/init.d/red5 status
9. Test the result
Go to http://yourserver.com:5080/demos/ofla_demo.html to test Red5 Server over RTMP

 That's all. Feel free to ask anything.

      dear friend, videowhisper isn't compatible with the latest versions of red5

      I got videowhisper to work with red5.

      http://www.videowhisper.com/?p=RTMP+Applications

      These PHP default setting values are required by this software:
      + error_reporting E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE
      + short_open_tag On
      + safe mode Off (if using older php, as fuction is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and removed in PHP 5.4)
      + open_basedir restrictions should allow accessing CMS configuration and libraries (depending on integration)
      + scripts require write permissions on certain files and folders (to store snapshots, chat logs, sessions) depending on edition

      When I click connect on ofla_demo.html I get:
      (132) Connections: true | true
      (7257) connected?: true
      (7268) NetConnection.onStatus:

      do you stream something to your red5 server ?

    13. AnonymousOctober 26, 2015 at 5:45 PM

      Nothing yet. I'm just trying to get the demos working and figure out how everything works, then use HDFVR+Red5 to record/stream via html/js
