You need to install Apache Tomcat on your server in order to install Red5. You can install Tomcat by using easyapache script in cPanel.

 
/scripts/easyapache

One it is installed, please proceed with the following steps to install Red5 on cPanel server.

 
cd /usr/local/src
wget https://github.com/Red5/red5-server/releases/download/v1.0.7-RELEASE/red5-server-1.0.7-RELEASE.tar.gz
tar xvzf red5-server-1.0.7-RELEASE.tar.gz
mv red5-server /usr/local/red5
 

You need to add a start-up script. Create a file “/etc/init.d/red5” using vim editor.

 
vim /etc/init.d/red5

Add the following contents into it.

# !/bin/sh
# Startup script for Red5

# processname: red5
 
PROG=red5

Make the start-up script file executable.

 
chmod a+x /etc/init.d/red5

Enable the red5 daemon on chkconfig. It will make sure the red5 daemon automatically start after the server reboot.

 
chkconfig --add red5
chkconfig red5 on

Start the red5 daemon.

 
/etc/init.d/red5 start

Make these ports accept connections: 1935, 1936, 5080, 8088 on your server firewall.

Please call the following url on your web browser to verify the installation.

 
http://YOUR_IP_ADDRESS:5080/
