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.



INSTALL RED5

svn checkout http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/java/server/trunk/ red5
mv red5 /usr/local/
cd /usr/local/red5

ant prepare
ant dist
cp -r dist/conf .

START RED5

./red5.sh

in that time your installation can get hanged wait 30-40min after that press ctrl+c

then
CREATE INIT FILE

cd /etc/init.d/
wget http://www.sohailriaz.com/downloads/red5.txt
mv red5.txt red5
chmod +x red5
service red5 start

then visit your RED5 ADMIN

http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:5080/installer/ (and install admin)
http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:5080/admin/register.html (add user/pass)

Common problem
if you face
HTTP Status 404 - /admin/register.html

type Status report

message /admin/register.html

description The requested resource (/admin/register.html) is not available.

Apache Tomcat/6.0.26

if you faced this types of problem then follow this steps
Get the plugins:

cd /root/tmp
mkdir /usr/local/red5/plugins
wget http://red5.googlecode.com/files/AdminPlugin-1.0.zip
unzip -d /usr/local/red5/plugins AdminPlugin-1.0.zip

Get the Red5 admin register page:

mkdir /usr/local/red5/webapps/admin
wget http://red5.googlecode.com/files/admin.jsp
mv admin.jsp /usr/local/red5/webapps/admin


then again restart Red5 (/etc/init.d/red5 restart)/(service red5 restart)

this all step working tested by me in centos 64bit os (cpanel)

Hi onel0ve,

Thanks for your post.

I followed a similar (slightly different) procedure to install Red5 on a VPS with Centos (without cPanel) just a few days ago. I was delighted to see the message "If you see this video then the server is working" on the server home page, but I still have a few problems.

I did not install perl-URI. Perl was already installed on my system. Is this perl-URI needed for Red5 ?

Do you know how much memory is needed to run Red5 ? I just need to run basic demonstrations.

I found a log file that shows http accesses to the Red5 web server and I found an error log, but I did not find a log file with information about the streamed data. Any idea where I can find it ?

As you pointed out, I had to manually load AdminPlugin-1.0.zip and admin.jsp. I filled in the form to add an admin user, but I am still unable to log in as admin.

Some of the demos work, others don't :
- Shared Ball shows a static image. Is it okay ?
- Admin Panel looks okay, but I cannot log in.
- OFLA Demo shows a kind of TV screen, an output with "Connections: true | true" and commands that I do not understand.
- Port Tester says that all connections fail.
- Publisher seems to work fine.
...

Any further clarification is welcome.

Thanks for this installation tutorial. I hope this will work in vps.

A big thanks for this.
