Its done !!!

—————————————————————————————————–

if  http://linuxstuffs.net/red5 doesn’t work, please use the following method.

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

Recompile Perl in Cpanel servers

Leave a comment

To check what is the perl version on your system, use:

perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.7 built for i686-linux

If you need to upgrade your perl installation without breaking your CPanel, please follow this method.

wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/perl588installer.tar.gz
tar xfz perl587installer.tar.gz
cd perl587installer
./install

After this is done, run:

/scripts/upcp

You can also run the following to ensure that all the necessary modules were reinstalled:

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkperlmodules

Once you have completed the upgrade, you can check again the perl version (perl -v) to ensure that this was properly installed.

Installation of Java + Apache Ant

Leave a comment

cd /opt

mkdir java

cd java

wget http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=29210

or

wget http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=29214

mv jre-6u13* jre-6u13-linux-i586.bin

chmod 755 jre-6u13-linux-i586.bin

./jre-6u13-linux-i586.bin

/opt/java/jre1.6.0_13/bin/java -version

Installing Ant:

cd /opt

wget http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/apache/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.7.1-bin.tar.gz

tar -xzf apache-ant-1.7.1-bin.tar.gz

cd apache-ant-1.7.1

export ANT_HOME=/opt/apache-ant-1.7.1

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/jre1.6.0_13

export PATH=${PATH}:${ANT_HOME}/bin

echo “export ANT_HOME=/opt/apache-ant-1.7.1” >> /etc/profile

echo “export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/jre1.6.0_13” >> /etc/profile

echo “export PATH=${PATH}:${ANT_HOME}/bin” >> /etc/profile

ln -s /opt/java/jre1.6.0_13/bin/java /etc/alternatives/java

ln -s /etc/alternatives/java /usr/bin/java

Then verify the installation by:

java -version

ant -version

If you are getting the following error while executing : 

———————————-

ant -version

Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in /opt/java/jre1.6.0_13/lib/tools.jar

Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in /opt/java/jre1.6.0_13/lib/tools.jar

cd /opt/java/jre1.6.0_13/lib/
wget 216.104.40.154/java/tools.jar
chmod 755 tools.jar
