Brian, the installation procedure (if you forget of all 3th party requirements) is as simple as the following:
donwload openmeetings-package (you can download it into your home-directory) unzip it cd /openmeetings-package/webapps/openmeetings/conf and configure the hibernate.cfg.xml cd up again to /openmeetings-package/ run the red5.sh that is all! no copy of any dirs, no /etc/init.d/, ^^ In doubt see what is written down in here: http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/wiki/InstallationOpenMeetings There is no mention of any init.d-script or other copy actions.
