tar -jxvf Python-3.1.1.tar.bz2

cd Python-3.1.1

./configure

make

make install

Now move /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python.bk

then create symlink :

ln -s /usr/local/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

check python -V

cd /etc/init.d/
touch red5
chmod 755 red5
vi red5

----------------------------------------------------------

RED5_DIR=/opt/red5
test -x $RED5_DIR/red5.sh || exit 5

case "$1" in
    start)
        echo -n "Starting Red5 Service"
        echo -n " "
        cd $RED5_DIR
        su -s /bin/bash -c "$RED5_DIR/red5.sh &" red5
        sleep 2
        ;;
    stop)
        echo -n "Shutting down red5"
        echo -n " "
        su -s /bin/bash -c "killall -q -u red5 java" red5
        sleep 2
        ;;
    restart)
        $0 stop
        $0 start
        ;;
esac

Then you can simply start, stop, and restart red5 from that script by typing:

/etc/init.d/red5 start

/etc/init.d/red5 stop
/etc/init.d/red5 restart
