red5 service doesn't start on windows

I installed Red5 5.0.1 on my 64-bit Windows 8 PC. I set IP address as 127.0.0.1 and Port no. as 5080. It is well installed. But when I go to the services and select start red5 it gives following error message:

Windows could not start the Red5 on the local computer. For more information review the System Event Log. If this is non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 1.

I've JAVA_HOME set as C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_38. I've 32-bit jdk installed. Red5 was running good earlier, but recently this error is bugging me. I uninstalled and re-installed Red5 again, but this didn't help.

Please help.

Solution

  • If you have a port clash with another program it can prevent red5 from running.
