[] To use RED5 Server
- checking if it works
    browse 'http://RED5-Server-IP:5080/'
- to install your RED5 Server based applications
    copy them to dir '/usr/local/red5server/webappz'
    suppose you copy them to '/usr/local/red5server/webappz/myFlash'
    so they will be accessible at 'http://RED5-Server-IP:5080/myFlash/'
- to make it run at port 80 like any HTTP Server
    edit '/usr/local/red5/conf/red5-origin.xml' and '/usr/local/red5/conf/red5.properties'
    by replacing all instances of Port# 5080 by simply Port# 80
