# Deploying Kaltura Clusters

Below are **RPM** based instructions for deploying Kaltura Clusters.    
Refer to the [All-In-One Kaltura Server Installation Guide](https://github.com/kaltura/platform-install-packages/blob/master/doc/install-kaltura-redhat-based.md) for more notes about deploying Kaltura in RPM supported environments.    
Refer to the [Deploying Kaltura Clusters Using Chef](https://github.com/kaltura/platform-install-packages/blob/master/doc/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](https://github.com/kaltura/platform-install-packages/blob/master/doc/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](https://github.com/kaltura/platform-install-packages/blob/master/doc/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](#the-sphinx-indexing-server)
* [Front servers](#the-first-front-node)

Hello, I installed the latest version CE 11.5.0 three times on clean Centos 6.7 with SSL as per instructions on page: https://github.com/kaltura/platform-install-packages/blob/master/doc/install-kaltura-redhat-based.md#ssl-step-by-step-installation

All 3 installation attempts resulting with the same error:

Running Batch config…

kaltura-batch-11.5.0-1.noarch
base-config completed successfully, if you ever want to re-configure your system (e.g. change DB hostname) run the following script:

/opt/kaltura/bin/kaltura-base-config.sh

Please advise. Thank you.

Hello.

The issue here is that /etc/init.d/httpd reload fails. Start by looking at /etc/httpd/conf.d/zzzkaltura.ssl.conf and see what it looks like. Should be similar to:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/rhel7.kaltura.org.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/rhel7.kaltura.org.key
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-kaltura.org.crt

SSLEngine on
SSLProtocol all -SSLv2
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT:!SSLv2:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW

    ErrorLog "/opt/kaltura/log/kaltura_apache_errors_ssl.log"
    CustomLog /opt/kaltura/log/kaltura_apache_access_ssl.log vhost_kalt

    Include "/opt/kaltura/app/configurations/apache/conf.d/enabled.*.conf"

Only with paths to your own certificates and key files and your own host.
This file is auto generated from /opt/kaltura/app/configurations/apache/kaltura.ssl.conf.template when running /opt/kaltura/bin/kaltura-front-config.sh

I recently made a fix in this area so make sure you have:

rpm -q kaltura-postinst

kaltura-postinst-1.0.30-9.noarch

mark · January 4, 2016, 5:00pm

Hello, I manually added the paths of the SSL certs in /etc/httpd/conf.d/zzzkaltura.ssl.conf

[root@player conf.d]# rpm -q kaltura-postinst
kaltura-postinst-1.0.30-10.noarch

kaltlog shows the following:
