Today, I tried to install Red5 Server on Mac. What do I need to install it?
- First, I need a Mac. Of course… 🙂
- Second, I need a XAMPP as a Web Server (localhost). Download here.
- Third, I need a Red5. Download here.
So, let’s begin to Install Red5 on Mac.
- Download the .zip (available at: http://code.google.com/p/red5/ )
- extract downloaded zip file and move into XAMPP htdocs directory.
- open terminal, locate to Red5 folder directory.
- Add configuration for XAMPP on MAC, go into
/Applications/xampp/etc/httpd.conf, add:
Alias /red5 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/red5/webapps/test/streams <Directory "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/red5/webapps/test/streams"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
- Restart Apache.
Test server, type http://localhost:5080 in your browser.
