How would you ensure security of your production Linux Server? Should you can be happy with default configuration there in place or there’s are things which we must implement for enhancing security aspects? Of course, Yes. Here I’m writing 5 steps which I usually take to tighten security in Server. This doesn’t means these are Best thing you can do or You don’t need to do anything else. There are many ways and remember securing your Server is a never ending process, So keep an eye open and check your Server regularly.

Although the Red5 installation guide is there and simple but they only explained how to install it in Ubuntu. I am documenting here the steps I took to install it in CentOS 5.4 server and worked like charm. It should be more or less similar in any Redhat based distro.

Step 1. Install openjdk through yum:

$ yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel

Step 2. Download the binary version of ant. I got it from here:

$ cd /usr/src 
$ wget  http://apache.opensourceresources.org//ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.8.2-bin.tar.gz
$ tar xzf apache-ant-1.8.2-bin.tar.gz
$ cd apache-ant-1.8.2

Step 3. After inflating the compressed file, you will get all binary contents of ant. You can now copy/move bin and lib directories to any location to access ant. I’m creating a directory here and copying these directories there.
