If the default video starts your installation is successful. If you find the connection error like
163) Connections: true | true
(80550) connected?: true
(80684) NetConnection.onStatus:
description = No scope “oflaDemo” on this server.
code = NetConnection.Connect.Rejected
level = error
your oflaDemo war package is not proper to solve this problem you have to download this package and placed it in
../red5/weapps/oflaDemo
$ wget http://red5.googlecode.com/svn-history/r3990/snapshots/oflaDemo-r3989-java6.war
unzip the war file
$ unzip oflaDemo-r3989-java6.war
restart the server
$ sudo service red5-server restart (切记要重启,然后刷新页面看效果)
Refresh the page and you will find the video running …
