1} A computer
WINDOWS XP
2} A HOME WEB SERVER
I used XAMPP XAMPP.org
Placed in same folder as program files
C:\xampp
3} JAVA JDK SE
Download from http://java.sun.com/
placed in programs
C:\Program Files\Java
Use installer
and set JAVA_HOME
My setup
NAME JAVA_HOME
VALUE C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_13
Don't use " \bin " on end for setting JAVA_HOME
Name JAVA_VERSION
VALUE 1.6
ADD to "path"
;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_13\bin
TIP: utube has a tutorial for this.
key words
" Installing the Java Development Kit for Windows "
4} RED5 flash server Final Version 7 java6 with installer
Download at RED5 site
Placed in same folder as programs.
my set up
C:\Red5
Set up RED5, run test page shut RED5 off and then load
video whisper.
RED5 Test address
http://127.0.0.1:5080/
5} Download Video whisper stand alone free script APPROX 431 KB
Video whisper is placed in
C:\xampp\htdocs\Videowhisper
Set your ip address in settings.php
C:\xampp\htdocs\vc_php\settings.php
Mine <?
$rtmp_server="rtmp://my-ip-address/videowhisper";
?>
Tip
The name of the folder you place in XAMPP is "vc_php"
IT's the folder vc_php/contents
not the folder vc_php/vc_php/contents
6} Also the videowhisper_red5 script APPROX 17 KB
MY set up
C:\Red5\webapps\videowhisper
Tip
The name of the folder you place in webapps is videowhisper
It's the folder inside the extracted videowhisper_red5
Next
Delete this part from RED5 web.XML. You will be disconected
from server if you don't.
<param-name>log4jConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/log4j.properties</param-value>
</context-param>
The Location is
C:\Red5\webapps\videowhisper\WEB-INF\web.XML
Once you're done restart RED5
Refresh XAMPP
Type in your IP adress
http://your-ip-address/vc_php/
To Test locally
http://127.0.0.1/vc_php/

This is the way to do it if you're just testing and don't have your own website with compatible hosting yet.
Great tutorial.

I'm trying to understand the overall process of installing... I want to use the JOOMLA component for Videowhisper Conference. I created a Joomla site, installed the component, I have a VPS and pointed it to the RTMP's IP...
I assumed the Joomla component installed everything I needed, but it doesn't work.
My question is - even if I installed the Joomla component, do I STILL need to upload the "Standalone" files and the other "videowhisper_red5" files?
(Also, I notice there is referecen to the videowhisper_red5 files, but I don't actually see any palce where I can downlaod this file.) |

Another question: If I do have to install the standalone files to the RTMP server, is anyone experienced with VPS enough to tell me how? I've been going back and forth with my hosting tech support forawhile now, and they aren't telling me how I can "connect" to my VPS so that I may copy files there.
So maybe I don't understand enough about VPS... but the need to copy files to the VPS that I bought seems like a basic need... Not sure why it's something they aren't telling me how to do. Any tips from someone experienced with VPS?
