    hi

    i install the red 5 in my server
    http://82.165.47.113:5080/

    but in http://82.165.47.113:5080/installer/ i havn't admin app . so i can't subsscibe :(

    Hi,

    I did run http://82.165.47.113:5080/demos/port_tester.html and seems that your Red5 install works fine, it is listening on default RTMP ports (change localhost to 82.165.47.113 when testing).

    rtmfp://www.villageafro.com/ChatrouletteApp is not accessible by a browser, I did test the rtmp and it doesn't work
    I would recommend to install 0.8 until we (or someone else comes with a solution).

    To install 0.8 (assuming that your red5 directory is /usr/local/red5)

    /etc/init.d/red5 stop
    rm -rf /usr/local/red5/

    cd /root/tmp
    svn co http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/java/server/tags/0_8_0/ red5
    mv red5 /usr/local/
    cd /usr/local/red5

    ant prepare
    ant dist
    cp -r dist/conf .

    ./red5.sh &

    Make sure, your /usr/local/red5/webapps/ChatrouletteApp folder contains the /WEB-INF folder and all it's contents (you need to deploy the application uncompressed).

    Did you restart Red5? Be aware that sometimes Red5 does not stop! Try this:

    cd /usr/local/red5
    ./red5-shutdown.sh
    ps aux | grep red5

    if red5 is not stopped:

    killall -q -u root java
    ps aux | grep red5

    than restart Red5:

    ./red5.sh &

    edit /jabbercam/config.php and point the rtmp to your server, as described in INSTALL.txt that's all.

    This will help if Red5 admin is not found when accessing :5080/admin or :5080/admin/register.html

    the latest version is available for RED5 is 0.7 on site but download from google code using svn as the tarball of 0.7 on site is missing some of the files.

    In some cases, doing all the above won't help you. The rtmp works, but "cannot connect to backend services".

    Edit my.cnf found at /etc/my.cnf and remove the following line:

    skip-networking

    vi /etc/my.cnf

    *press ESC and :wq to quit and save vi

    Restart MySQL and give it a try.:

    /etc/init.d/mysql restart

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

    then You could temporarily remove perl from the /etc/yum.conf exclude line, install subversion, then add perl back to the /etc/yum.conf exclude line after you've gotten subversion installed.
