folks, just posting a 'gotcha' that took me a few hours spend to find...

I installed Red5 0.6 RC2, I followed the great video tutorials at

http://www.flashextensions.com/tutorials.php and then when I was almost about 
to get connect from my test application.. noting happened.. flash replied with 
'No scope 'mytestapp' on this server...'
well the Red5 admin tool clearly showe dthat there was a /mytestapp scope, I 
did set up everything correct - except for 1 thing: I used the template's for 
red5-web.properties etc etc this file configures by default to allow only local 
clients to connect

since the red5 server runs on my linux box and my flash authoring is done from 
my winxp laptop... I could not connect. All I had to do is to openup the server 
for any ip address (the * wildchar): 

ed5-web.properties :
webapp.contextPath=/mytestapp 
webapp.virtualHosts=*, localhost, localhost:8088, 127.0.0.1:8088

and now it works... yup simple for you guys that did it before.. it took this 
newmbie hours... gotcha!
maybe a good one for the documentation?
