Installing RED5 server in CentOS 5.x | MyLiteratureTechLife.COM

yum -y install java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel

cd /usr/src
wget http://opensource.become.com/apache/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz
tar zxvf apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz
mv apache-ant-1.7.1/ /usr/local/ant

export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ant/bin
export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/classes.zip

echo 'export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant' >> /etc/bashrc
echo 'export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java' >> /etc/bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ant/bin' >> /etc/bashrc
echo 'export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/classes.zip' >> /etc/bashrc

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

If you get any error while running "ant prepare", then first confirm ant version by running
 
ant -version
 
command, and make sure it is showing ant version 1.8.1, if it is showing some older version then it might be installed via yum, run yum install, and logout, then login to load /etc/bashrc, and then again check ant version.
