You must have a licence installed on your appliance prior to starting RealProxy 8. For more information, see Purchasing a RealProxy 8 License .
RealProxy requires at least one service to be configured in order for RealProxy to start. Real services need to be configured at the command line. At least one service needs to be enabled in order for RealProxy to run. These services will only configure RealProxy for the RTSP protcol. Other services are configured through the RP configuration screen. The command line syntax to configure Real services is:
add realservice name_of_service
set realservice name_of_service type = forward | transparent | accelerator
set realservice name_of_service enable = yes | no
set realservice name_of_service port = 554
If you are configuring an accelerator service type, the command line syntax would also include:
set realservice name_of_service dnsname = DNS_name_of_Real_service
add realservice name_of_service originaddress = DNS_name_of_target_origin_server | IP_address_of_target_origin_server
set realservice name_of_service originport = port_number_of_target_origin_server
To remove or clear a service, use the following syntax:
remove realservice name_of_service originaddress = DNS_name_or_IP_address_of_target_origin_server
clear realservice name_of_service originaddress
Then Apply the changes.
To configure your RealPlayer to use the RealProxy add-on, see Chapter 5, Connecting Clients to RealProxy in the RealProxy Administration Guide.
If you are not able to access RealProxy through the browser-based management tool or RealProxy 8 will not start, the configuration for RealProxy may be invalid. If there is a syntax error or invalid configurative statements, RealProxy 8 will not start. In this case you must manually repair the config file. See Reconfiguring the RealProxy Configuration File for further information on editing the RealProxy 8 configuration file. For more information on RealProxy 8 configuration and file syntax, see Appendix A: Configuration File Syntax and Appendix B: Configuration File Contents in the RealProxy Administration Guide.
If the appliance you are configuring for Real is the same appliance you are using for your browser's proxy, you will get a 504 Gateway Timed Out error when trying to launch the RealProxy Configuration screen. You will need to turn off the proxy for your browser in order to launch the Real Configuration screen.
