Hello Bax,
I downloaded SFS2X from this page
http://www.smartfoxserver.com/2X/download.php and I got my RedBox from that same page, I presume it is the required version of Red5/RedBox to work with the SFS2X.
I have installed my RedBox folder in my Extensions folder of my SFS2X folder as required here
http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/GettingStarted/redbox -- "Running the examples" --- 'install the RedBox Extension for SFS2X by copying the /Server/redBox folder from the RedBox package to your SFS2X/extensions folder;'.
I also have installed the Red5 folder in my SFS2X-RC1a folder so that it can be at the same level as my SFS2X folder wich also resides in the SFS2X-RC1a folder as required here
http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/GettingStarted/redbox -- "Red5 installation" --- 'Make sure that the Red5 folder is at the same level of the SFS2X folder.' So I guess I am to understand that my Red5 folder must not be inside the SFS2X but rather one level up (SFS2x-RC1a) in order to be at the SAME level as my SFS2X folder. [or is it here that I am wrong ?]
I also have upgraded Red5 as required : "In case you want to upgrade Red5, make sure you copy the SFS_RedBox folder contained under Red5/webapps to the same location of the new Red5 folder."
Now I don't get an error when I run my Red5.bat file, as I said I get a "Bootstrap complet" message at the end and I don't know what this means and I just don't know if my Red5 server is working. In fact, I'm pretty sure it is not working correctly at the moment since the provided exemples won't start. What is going on when I try to start one of the exemple of Red5 is that the html page loads and I get a logging window but the login is grayed out and I can't use the exemple.
I was wondering if there was a clear way, a clear flag somewhere telling me that my Red5 server is effectivly working. I know I can see my SFS2x server is running when I explore my windows services but how do I check to see if my Red5 server is running ? Is the Bootstrap Complete message a good thing ? is my Red5 folder installed in the proper folder as I think it should be in order to be at the same level as my SFS2X folder ?
It seems a rather simple process but I can't get it to work properly. The canditate patch 3 upgrade of the SFS2X server went well too, it's only the Red5 server that is remaining in the fog.
My SFS2X server works just fine but not the Red5. I just don't know how to test my Red5 installation to pin point the problem. Or is the Red5 server working (though I seem to have no mean of being sure about it) but it is not properly configured and won't allow me to login properly with the given exemples. My SFS2X exemples works fine (chat n stuff) but not the Red5 exemples. They will load but the login remains in gray and I can't use the exemple.
Could you suggest me a pratical way to SEE with my eyes if the Red5 server is properly working ? Is the grayed out loaded exemple of Red5 a sign of misconfiguration of my Red5 server ?
I thank you a lot Bax for your time.
In the meanwhile, enjoy coding everyone.
