[newburns]

This is how I installed Red5 on my SME 8 x64 build:
First up is Java >>> http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,48744.new.html#new
Next up is ant >>>
Go here for latest version http://opensource.become.com/apache/ant/binaries/
or

Code: [Select]

wget http://opensource.become.com/apache/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.8.4-bin.tar.gz
tar -xvzf apache-ant-1.8.4-bin.tar.gz
mv apache-ant-1.8.4 /usr/local/ant
Now to set some variables (Please make sure these files are where you point them)

Code: [Select]

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/latest
export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant
echo 'export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant' >> /etc/bashrc
echo 'export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/latest' >> /etc/bashrc
ln -s /usr/local/ant/bin/ant /usr/bin/ant:::Now it is time to install Red5 Media Server:::

Code: [Select]

svn checkout http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/java/server/trunk/ red5
mv -r red5 /usr/local/
cd /usr/local/red5
ant prepare
ant dist

Please Help

Code: [Select]

...
mv /var/log/red5.log /var/log/red5_previous.log
...

Try creating /var/log/red5.log first using:
touch /var/log/red5.log

[newburns]

Now I get this message (please note the spaces with the period at the end, is that normal?)

Code: [Select]

Starting Red5 flash streaming server: red5
bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
bash: -c: line 0: `/usr/local/red5/red5.sh > /var/log/red5.log 2>&1 & /bin/echo $! > '

.

Maybe someone can help me rewrite the service file? I don't understand it, and just copied and pasted from Red5 wiki

[mmccarn]

Confirm that red5 runs and works if you just run it manually using /usr/lib/red5/red5.sh (output logs will be sent to the console).

I found an alternative startup script here.

[newburns]

Red5 does run. I can view the webpage, however, I cannot view the installer page for apps. I will tackle that once I get this startup script to work properly. I used the alternative script you posted, and saved my original as 'red5_backup'
However, I get this message.

Code: [Select]

service red5 start
/etc/rc7.d/S98red5: line 50: stop: command not found
/etc/rc7.d/S98red5: line 50: restart: command not found
/etc/rc7.d/S98red5: line 50: status}.: command not found
I guess it is something with the stop, restart, and status commands. I think it has something to do with format, but I don't know the format.
