How to install red5 on suse Linux 10.2 (RED5 Installation manuals) Added: 21/11/09 11:26 AM (Four months, nine hours, five minutes, thirty seconds ago) Rating(0) Viewed(47453)
This howto was provided by Jake Hilton. If you see any errors please let him know so that they can be corrected. This was recently updated to reflect the new version of opensuse which is 10.2. These instructions are generic enough to work on many different linux operating systems.
The following are steps used to get Red5 running on SUSE Linux 10.2. This is the development version of red5.
Before beginning this make sure you are running these commands as root.
# You can create a red5 user to run this under if you dont plan on using any ports below 1000. If you need red5 to bind to ports below 1000 you need to run it as root. With the red5 user disallow login access and make the red5 user part of the root group.

# Then set your JAVA_HOME variable. It may have to be set two different ways. First way:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0
and the second way.
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0

# Install Apache Ant 1.7. You may have to download that as well. Install the binary for it.
# Download and unzip the file. Then copy the contents to a directory, something like /usr/ant. Then set your ANT_HOME variable. If it doesnt work then dont worry about it. We will not be using that pointer in this tutorial.
# Once java and ant are all set up you simply pull the latest trunk for r Read more about: How to install red5 on suse Linux 10.2
