Won't start after install (Socket is closed)

I installed red5 using the installation steps but it doesn’t seem to want to start.

I checked the error.log and see this error repeating itself over and over again:

2010.02.17 11:53:20 [org.jivesoftware.openfire.plugin.red5.Red5Plugin.startServer(Red5Plugin.java:4 15)]
java.net.SocketException: Socket is closed

at org.jivesoftware.openfire.plugin.red5.Red5Plugin$1.run(Red5Plugin.java:233)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

I figured it might be the port being in use but when checking with nmap I don’t see any ports in use that could create any conflicts

Interesting ports on xxx (127.0.0.1):

Does anyone know what I can do to get red5 running?

Thanks!

I restarted red5 twice more after playing (and reverting) with some settings and now it’s working.

Odd… but hey … it’s working.
