Hello, this is the output when I run kaltura-config-all.sh

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl reload httpd.service
Job for httpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status httpd.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.

Hello,

This is a very partial output…
The part I am most interested in is actually the kaltura-base-config.sh part, because this is where most of the placeholders in the config are replaced. The reason your Apache fails to start is that the @APP_DIR@ token is not replaced in /opt/kaltura/app/configurations/apache/kaltura.conf and most likely in many other places.
We need to understand why that is…
