### Changing Apache configurations post install.

Sometimes, you may want to change deployment settings post installation, for example: replacing the domain, port or protocol, or changing the system to use SSL or stop using SSL.   
You can run `/opt/kaltura/bin/kaltura-front-config.sh` as many times as you'd like with different values. The script will re-configure the system accordingly.   
For instance, you may want to change the service URL, port or protocol.

Ok I resolved my problem. It appeared to mysqld shutted down. Why there is no message about it ? Why I have got message like “Invalid username or password” when database is not running ?

Hi,

If you would have run:
# kaltlog
from the shell, you would have seen it.
It is not good practice for the UI to indicate that since that can be used by an attacker to exploit the system.
