Re: Problem installing Red5 on Windows 2003 x64 Server

Hi

I really hope you can help.

I installed Red5 onto my Windows XP laptop by following these very clear
instructions:
http://www.flashpioneer.com/chat/help/RED5_install_w.htm

But now I have now been trying to install Red5 on a Windows 2003 Server for
many hours and I am getting nowhere.
The server is 64 bit (x64) with Service Pack 2 and all the latest patches.
It has IIS running on port 80 and Apache 2.2 running on port 8080

After installation I get this message in Internet Explorer when trying to
reach http://127.0.0.1:5080/admin:
"The webpage cannot be displayed
Most likely cause:
Some content or files on this webpage require a program that you don't have
installed. "
Friendly HTTP errors are switched off in the IE advanced options and the
error message doesn't get any clearer than that.

When I try starting Red5 up from the command line, ie. C:\Red5\red5.bat I
get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/red5/server/Standalone
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.red5.server.Standalone
      at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)

      at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:320)
Could not find the main class: org.red5.server.Standalone.  Program will
exit.
Press any key to continue . . .

I have got this same message after installing different combinations of Java
and Red 5 windows installers.
After installation, the NT service sometimes appears to be running and
sometimes it will not start.
I have tried running C:\Red5\red5.bat with the NT service apparently
running, with the service not running and after unistalling the service.

These are the versions of Red5 Windows installers I have tried: 0.8, 0.7,
0.6.2
Version 0.6.2 gave me a lot more options during the installation, as shown
in the installation instructions I followed for the laptop.
The other two versions didn't show any options for setting up the NT
service.

The error sounds like it might be a class path issue or a problem with
compilation.
I didn't think that Red5 would need to be compiled when using the Windows
installation, but I tried unzipping the .tar version of Red 5 and running
red5.bat and I got the same error again.

These are the Java Environment Variables that have been set up:
CLASSPATH
.;C:\Java\jdk\lib;C:\Java\jdk\lib\tools.jar;C:\Java\jdk\lib\dt.jar;
JAVA_HOME C:\Java\jdk
PATH C:\Java\jdk\bin; (at end of existing PATH list)

Tried installing with the following versions of Java 1.6
JRE x64, JDK x64, JDK 32bit
Installed into C:\Java\jre and C:\Java\jdk respectively. Java unistalled and
machine rebooted before trying the next version.

When I test Java from the command line by entering "C:> java -showversion" I
get the same result after each installation:
java version "1.6.0_14"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)

I really appreciate any help you can give.

All the best
Al
