Dear George Kirkham, thanks for your fast response. Here is a detailed description of what happened:
It was not a log file extract. The error message I posted was the content of the browser window when the error happened. BTW, at the time the error happend the browser url showed '[yourOpenmeetingsServerIpAddress]:5080/openmeetings/install?command=step2' All I did was filling the 5 lines from 'Username' .. 'Domain Name' according to the manual, clicked [Install] and after approx. 30 sec. the error happened. OpenMeetings was started in the console with /etc/init.d/red5 start (I did this because I did not get Autostart to work. The StartStop script '/etc/init.d/red5' perms were properly set, update-rc.d worked and I could see the red5 symlink in '/etc/rcX.d' runlevels, rebootet but no autostart. With 'free' in the console I could see that no (additional) memory was allocated, hence, no autostart. So I removed the red5 symlink from the runlevels by 'update-rc.d -f red5 remove' if memory serves me well, checked they are actually gone, rebooted and started the red5 with the above mentioned command.) After the error happened I put [yourOpenmeetingsServerIpAddress]:5080/openmeetings/install in the browser again and got the install page. So Red5/OM was still running and I went for a 2. try. I filed the 5 lines again (like I did before) and clicked [Install]. Now immediately (the first time it took approx. 30s) I got the exactly same error msg again. I did a netstat -anp | grep java right now (not yesterday). Hope the output is useful for you. I removed white space to avoid line wrap and replaced IPs by X.X.X.X for privacy reason. Output is. tcp6 0 0 :::36357 :::* LISTEN 2224/java tcp6 0 0 :::1935 :::* LISTEN 2224/java tcp6 0 0 :::9999 :::* LISTEN 2224/java tcp6 0 0 :::8088 :::* LISTEN 2224/java tcp6 0 0 :::5080 :::* LISTEN 2224/java tcp6 1 0 X.X.X.X:1935 X.X.X.X:61918 CLOSE_WAIT 2224/java tcp6 1 0 X.X.X.X:1935 X.X.X.X:61712 CLOSE_WAIT 2224/java tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:46381 127.0.0.1:3306 ESTABLISHED 2224/java tcp6 1 0 X.X.X.X:1935 X.X.X.X:61529 CLOSE_WAIT 2224/java tcp6 1 0 X.X.X.X:1935 X.X.X.X:61567 CLOSE_WAIT 2224/java tcp6 1538 0 X.X.X.X:1935 X.X.X.X:62959 CLOSE_WAIT 2224/java tcp6 1 0 X.X.X.X:1935 X.X.X.X:61524 CLOSE_WAIT 2224/java tcp6 1 0 X.X.X.X:1935 X.X.X.X:62304 CLOSE_WAIT 2224/java unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 8019268 2224/java unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 8006419 2224/java The output of ls -al /etc/init.d/red5 is -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1769 Aug 26 19:09 /etc/init.d/red5 Well, I rebooted the server, started Red5 at the console, tried in my browser a new [Install] but immediately I get the above mentioned error. Guess I'm stuck ;) Manuel
