Anyone have luck with red5-server on vivid 15.04?

[rkleemann]

I just installed 15.04 on Google Compute Engine and installed red5-server package.

However red5 fails upon attempting to start.

This is the only info I can get from it:

$ sudo service red5-server start
Job for red5-server.service failed. See "systemctl status red5-server.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

There's already a reported bug (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=781750) concerning systemd.
Try booting with upstart (Grub > Advanced), See if it makes a difference.
