Thanks!

but what i don’t fully understand is what exactly the CE offers, because there are some things that the SaaS has and the CE not…

oferc1 · June 17, 2015, 8:35pm

Can you name what is missing? There are things which need to be configured.

ohad · June 18, 2015, 4:36pm

Ok,
Let’s go little back…
I want to make website like Youtube, some thing that the users can upload videos to the site.
So, what of the Kaltura CE can be usfull to me?

oferc1 · June 25, 2015, 9:04am

Hi Ohad,

Kaltura CE is a CMS + viewing source system.
If you want to build a system where users can see videos you can either build it, or use Kaltura MediaSpace (which is not for free)

Hello,

What is in /opt/kaltura/log/insertContent.log?

jess · June 29, 2015, 7:25pm

I mean, find the first request that failed, by looking for “ERR:” from the beginning of the file.
You should see the http request that failed. Then try to make the same request manually with curl -I -v and check the result.

In addition, what MySQL version are you working against?

ngmdat · June 30, 2015, 2:45am

Hi Jess,

Thanks for responding.

What is in /opt/kaltura/log/insertContent.log?

“/opt/kaltura/log/insertContent.log” said that
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘KalturaException’ with message ‘Internal database error’ in /opt/kaltura/app/tests/standAloneClient/exec.php:351

In addition, what MySQL version are you working against?

MySQL version on my box is:

===========================
Name : mysql-community-server
Arch : x86_64
Version : 5.6.25
Release : 2.el7

After tracing with manual executing
/opt/kaltura/app/deployment/base/scripts/insertContent.php
I have some of information about error:

when inserting [01.UserRole.-2.xml] to DB
“/opt/kaltura/app/api_v3/lib/types/permission/KalturaUserRole.php” have no Field ‘str_id’
got error at insert statement “INSERT INTO user_role …” have no Field ‘str_id’

Regards,
NgMDat.

This is what kaltura is saying about the DB:

github.com

kaltura/platform-install-packages/blob/master/doc/rpm-cluster-deployment-instructions.md#the-mysql-database

# Deploying Kaltura Clusters

Below are **RPM** based instructions for deploying Kaltura Clusters.    
Refer to the [All-In-One Kaltura Server Installation Guide](install-kaltura-redhat-based.md) for more notes about deploying Kaltura in RPM supported environments.    
Refer to the [Deploying Kaltura Clusters Using Chef](rpm-chef-cluster-deployment.md) for automated Chef based deployments.

### Before You Get Started Notes
* If you see a `#` at the beginning of a line, this line should be run as `root`.
* Please review the [frequently answered questions](kaltura-packages-faq.md) document for general help before posting to the forums or issue queue.
* All post-install scripts accept answers-file as parameter, this can used for silent-automatic installs.
* For a cluster install, it is very important to pass an [answer file](kaltura.template.ans) to each script because otherwise, the MySQL 'kaltura' passwd is autogenerated by the installer. This is fine for a standalone server but for a cluster, passwd must be the same on all. 
* [Kaltura Inc.](http://corp.kaltura.com) also provides commercial solutions and services including pro-active platform monitoring, applications, SLA, 24/7 support and professional services. If you're looking for a commercially supported video platform  with integrations to commercial encoders, streaming servers, eCDN, DRM and more - Start a [Free Trial of the Kaltura.com Hosted Platform](http://corp.kaltura.com/free-trial) or learn more about [Kaltura' Commercial OnPrem Edition™](http://corp.kaltura.com/Deployment-Options/Kaltura-On-Prem-Edition). For existing RPM based users, Kaltura offers commercial upgrade options.

### Instructions here are for a cluster with the following members:

* [Load Balancer](#apache-load-balancer)
* [NFS server](#the-nfs-server)
* [MySQL Database](#the-mysql-database)
* [Sphinx Indexing Nodes](#the-sphinx-indexing-server)
* [Front Nodes](#the-first-front-node)

only MySQL 5.1 is supported,

ngmdat · June 30, 2015, 11:53am

Hi Oferc1,

Thanks for your advice,
I’ll retry with MySQL server 5.1.

Regards,
NgMDat.

ngmdat · June 30, 2015, 4:51pm

Hi Oferc1,

After downgrade mysql server at version 5.1 then execute commands

[yum install kaltura-server]

I got the error about Conflict package beetwen MariaDB-libs-1: 5.5.41-2 and MySQL5.1
then the installation process stops as detailed later
