Introduction
This module is dependent on two server technologies apart from Moodle. I will attempt to describe as best I can how to install both the Red5 Server and the Palabre server. These are based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS as this is the server oohoo.biz uses. Generally speaking, these instructions should work on most linux distributions. No instructions will be provided (yet) for Windows based servers as they are straight forward.
Red5 Installation
These are based on instructions by Nicky Hajal add the following site: http://tumbledesign.com/how-to-install-red5-0-9-on-ubuntu-10-04-lts/
However, there are differences and I strongly suggest you follow these steps.
You have to make sure that the following repositories are available. If not, add them to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid multiverse deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid multiverse deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates multiverse deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates multiverse
At the command prompt type the following
sudo apt-get update
Install the following packages
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install java-package sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
NOTE: Nicky also installs ant and subversion. However, these two packages are never used within during the Red5 install process. Therefore, I am omitting these two steps.
Download Red5 version 0.8. Nicky installs version 0.9. This is not a recommended version for Language Lab.
wget http://trac.red5.org/downloads/0_8/red5-0.8.0.tar.gz
sudo mkdir /usr/share/red5 sudo cp red5-0.8.0.tar.gz /usr/share/red5 cd /user/share/red5 sudo tar xvfz red5-0.8.0.tar.gz
You can start Red5 by typing the following command.
sudo sh red5.sh
In your browser, goto http://your-red5-server-address:5080/ You should see the Red5 default page.
This is not ideal because as soon as you press CTRL-c to return to the command prompt, Red5 turns off. You also don't want to log in to your server everytime you reboot just to turn on Red. In order to have Red5 start as a "service" when ever you boot, do the following.
