Please post the exact command you are using and the exact output.

If, as you wrote, you did

Rpm-ivh file name

it is incorrect. Linux is case sensitive, so the R in rpm needs to be lower case. Also, are you running it as root? rpm needs root privileges.

su
rpm -ivh camfrogserver-4.2-1.noarch.rpm

Using RPM

su allows you to run a shell as a different user. I believe it actually stands for switch user. In this case, su or su - logs you into the shell as the root user. You usually need root privilieges to effect anything outside your home directory. The second option, with the hyphen, also changes to the home directory and to the environmental variables of the new user.

The su Command

I'm completely unfamiliar with camfrog. First time I've ever heard of it was answering your question, so I couldn't tell you how to use it. In general, services are started and stopped from the terminal in RHEL as so (as root)

/sbin/service name start
/sbin/service name stop

So in this case, in might be something like

/sbin/service camfrogserver start

But you'll need to consult whatever user guide or manual the program has.
