I’ve been trying to install Kaltura CE as an all in one server on Debian 8.3, but it keeps failing to create virtual hosts for apache. Result is that the API call fails during installation of kaltura-db and the whole script stops.
ERROR: Couldn’t make an API request to http://[myserver]/api_v3/index.php?service=system&action=ping.
I have intermediate knowledge of Debian linux but am a newbie to Kaltura. Can someone please help? I’m glad to supply more information or logs if you let me know what is relevant.
Your issue is not specific to Debian in any way:)
Like the error says, the command:
curl -I -v http://[myserver]/api_v3/index.php?service=system&action=ping
failed.
Does:
curl -I -v http://[myserver] work?
if not, then the host you supplied is simply not resolvable, you must supply a resolvable one or add the one you want to /etc/hosts to make it resolvable.
Note that the same needs to happen from whereever you plan to run the browser talking to the Kaltura web I/Fs.
if it is resolvable and /api_v3/index.php returns a 404, what is the output for
as stated in the documentation before starting the install script i disabled the apache default site with
"a2dissite 000-default.conf" and reloaded the config with “service apache2 reload”
but it seems as if no new virtualhosts are added during the installation.
Make sure this passes successfully and recheck the vhost configuration.
If it works correctly, then you can rerun the install script, it will skip what it already successfully done.
thanks for your help. Obviously the error was due to missing wheezy repositories. The installation continues now, but fails again during kaltura-nginx install… Here’s what’s happening in the console
