Since this is unix land, we need to make sure this init script has permissions to actually be executed. Let’s do this! Do it using chmod, like this:

chmod +x /etc/init.d/red5

Now we should be able to start red5 by using this script. Give this a shot

/etc/init.d/red5 start

If your server responds by writing starting Red5: [ OK ], you’re golden. Let’s check the status!

/etc/init.d/red5 status

You should see something like

red5 (pid 11232) is running...

This means that the RED5 server is running on its own. We could close this terminal window and the RED5 server would stay up and running. That’s looking mighty good, right!?

However, whenever we reboot the VPS, the RED5 server won’t start by itself…yet. You know where I’m going with this, right?

In order for RED5 to start when the server boots, we need to do some chkconfig magic. 

First we need to add the RED5 service to chkconfig:

chkconfig --add red5

Now we need to tell chkconfig that red5 should start asap when booting:

chkconfig red5 on

That should do it… Red5 is installed, you have a simple way of restarting the RED5 service and it starts as soon as possible whenever the server starts. I’d say that’s all we need. Let’s have a little applause for yourself. You did it! You have RED5 running on your server! Now go and have fun with it :)
