Getting Red5_04 to work on Fedora Core 4

Ok, It took me a while te get Red5 v04 to work on Fedora Core 4, so I thought I’d share.

[update: also works for version 0.5]

First of all, you will need to get the sun 1.5 jdk… The jdk that comes with fc4 will not work!!!
You can find the instructions to get and install the sun 1.5 jdk here.

Next up: installing apache ant.
Dont bother trying to get apache ant via yum… It won’t work..
Follow these instructions.

dont’ forget to add the dir (I use /urs/local/bin/) where you put the ant file to your path.

Ow, and don’t forget to stop FMS if you have it running, or change the ports for either FMS or Red5
(thnx Jay, for reminding me)
And adjust your router settings to forward the rtmp ports

This should do the trick,
Happy Experimenting!
