probably your database user/pwd/host is wrong
Stephen,
I would be quite interested in trying a Windows XP build too. If your instructions explained where to download the various supporting packages that would help us.
Can OpenMeetings running on a Windows OS use Microsoft Office as opposed to Open Office or Libre Office? We have had issues with PowerPoint fonts and their placements not being converted correctly, making the slides for a PowerPoint presentation unusable. Our current work-around has been to save the PowerPoint slide show as a PDF and then convert the PDF.
Can OpenMeetings convert PowerPoint Slides which have imbedded animations and/or video ? We had a slide where the slide shows several dot points as the presenter controls and speaks to each of the dot points but the slide converted as one single slide with all dot points visible. The solution for them was to create a new and separate slide for each of the dot points, but this means rework for the presenters and they have to learn the limitations.
Thanks,
George Kirkham

Robert,
At this stage I am unable to reproduce the problem you are having, this is working fine on my test XP machine that I built this morning from scratch.
Can you post the output of your red5-debug windows as you start your service and we will try and troubleshoot your setup. (you may need to start it using red5-debug.bat > output.log to capture the output in the output.log file as the command prompt is not so great for copying out of.)
Best Regards

Stephen,
Thanks for that step by step guide to setting up on XP for MySQL.
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
I've had this XP server running since at least 2005, keeping it updated
etc. Lots of fairly mission critical stuff on it. I dread the thought of
having to swap it all off to a new machine.
In the course of that time I've ended up with multiple instances of java -
from two different sources. So I've spent the day sorting that out -
classpaths, java_paths etc.
Finally - the build ran cleanly to completion. Installed it to C:\Red5 ...
made the appropriate changes - and it seems to be working finally.
Couldn't have done it without your step by step guide. Thank you so much.
Now, the big question is, will I be able to get it working with Moodle, the
plugin which of course uses the mysql database.
Maybe I'll leave that till tomorrow.
Thanks again Stephen.
Robert

Hey George,
I'll upload the windows guide tommorow with the locations of the files, I didn't get a chance to do that today but it's a pretty straight forward install, I'm not sure on the conversion using MS Office but we can certainly give it a go.
Cheers
