Ok I am back to where I started now red5 is working again but have since noticed the admin jar causes the service to fail on shutdown so have removed it until can find out why.
I am using RC2 on Centos 6.4 linux vps
Anyway I downloaded the admin panel demo and when I go to input new user I get the following error:
Error in db setup Table/View 'APPUSER' does not exist.
