Red5 server on Debian

[kenneiv]

Hi,

I've tried to set up a RED5 server on my debian server. But I get this message.

Code: Select all

sh red5-debug.sh
Starting Red5
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8787
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/red5/server/Bootstrap

Hey there,

It looks like you’re running into a common issue with Red5 where the server can’t find the org.red5.server.Bootstrap class. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot this:

1. Check Your Installation: Make sure you’ve unzipped the Red5 package properly and that all the necessary files are in place. Sometimes, an incomplete extraction can cause errors like this.

2. Set Your Working Directory: Ensure you’re running the command from the correct directory where the Red5 server files are located. Running sh red5-debug.sh from a different location can lead to this error.

3. Check Java Version: Double-check that your Java version is compatible with the version Red5 requires. You might need to update or change your Java environment if there’s a mismatch.

4. Illuminate Classpath Issues: It’s possible there’s a problem with the classpath. Verify that your environment variables are set correctly, and that the Red5 libraries are included in the classpath.

Red5 has come a long way since earlier versions and their documentation https://www.red5.net/docs/ is way better and there’s even a dedicated support space available now https://customer.support.red5.net/servi ... er/portals

Hope this helps. Good luck!
