<ul>
<li>
Use the Debug-Application: Enter in your browser
<a
href="http://$RED-HOST:$RED5-PORT/openmeetings/maindebug.lzx.lzr=swf8.swf"
rel="nofollow">http://$RED-HOST:$RED5-PORT/openmeetings/maindebug.lzx.lzr=swf8.swf
</a>
for example
<a href="http://localhost:5080/openmeetings/maindebug.lzx.lzr=swf8.swf"
rel="nofollow">http://localhost:5080/openmeetings/maindebug.lzx.lzr=swf8.swf
</a>
</li>
<li>If you have Problems with conversion-jobs check your Red5-Log
output. There will be error Messages which help you. You must
install OpenOffice, ImageMagick, GhostScript and SWFTools to run
all conversion-Jobs correctly.
</li>
<li>if you have problems in converting Files check the Batch-Scripts
in $OPENMEETINGS_HOME/jod
</li>
<li>
If you want to use red5 as a service (without red5.bat), you need
to move red5\wrapper\wrapper.exe to red5\wrapper.exe. Then change
some path in conf\wrapper.conf (like ..\lib\foo.jar to
lib\foo.jar). And finally change the register key in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet
<a href="/p/openmeetings/w/edit/CurrentControlSet">?</a>
\Services\Red5\ImagePath
<a href="/p/openmeetings/w/edit/ImagePath">?</a>
to point to the new wrapper.
</li>
<li>
you can query a Mysql Database to get the schema_collection by
using this query:
<div class="xmlcode">
SELECT Table_name, TABLE_COLLATION FROM
information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema = 'openmeetings'
ORDER BY table_name DESC
</div>
</li>
