# 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).

Hi,

I have just upgraded my dev server and I`m getting a server error when accessing the content tab under KMC. The entries list shows nothing.

This is the output from kaltlog:

2017-05-11 08:45:12 [0.000337] [65.167.61.190] [80167656] [141] [API] [KalturaFrontController->getExceptionObject] CRIT: exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘Cannot find [0] in config’ in /opt/kaltura/app/alpha/config/kConf.php:227
Stack trace:
#0 /opt/kaltura/app/alpha/lib/model/Partner.php(1057): kConf::get(‘0’, ‘broadcast’)

I already cleaned the /opt/kaltura/app/cache and ran the sphinx_reindex script.

Should I report as a bug ? This is a clean setup that I use to test the new versions so it seems to be a real issue.

Regards,

David Eusse

Hi @david.eusse,

I need a bit more info in order to effectively troubleshoot it.
Can you please open /opt/kaltura/log/kaltura_api_v3.log and attach the lines leading to the final exception?
In addition, please open your browser’s dev tools and, under the “Network” tab, locate the failing request[s] and paste them here? I imagine HTTP 500 will be the RC for these but anything that does not return with 200, 301 or 302 is worth looking into.

Thanks,

david.eusse · May 11, 2017, 7:36pm

Hi Jess,

I forgot to copy the following line:

Stack trace:
#0 /opt/kaltura/app/alpha/lib/model/Partner.php(1057): kConf::get(‘0’, ‘broadcast’)

I just get the Internal Server error pop-up but I don’t get a 500 or any errors on my browser debugger.

This is the complete kaltlog error message:

2017-05-11 14:14:53 [0.000189] [65.167.61.190] [1910030790] [140] [API] [KalturaStatement->execute] DEBUG: Sql took - 0.00010514259338379 seconds
2017-05-11 14:14:53 [0.000338] [65.167.61.190] [1910030790] [141] [API] [KalturaFrontController->getExceptionObject] CRIT: exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘Cannot find [0] in config’ in /opt/kaltura/app/alpha/config/kConf.php:227
Stack trace:
#0 /opt/kaltura/app/alpha/lib/model/Partner.php(1057): kConf::get(‘0’, ‘broadcast’)

I have checked against different partners and different browsers, just to make sure. I also ran the config-setup script twice.

I hope it will help,

David

jess · May 11, 2017, 7:59pm

Hi @david.eusse,

Is the kaltura-sphinx daemon running? If this is a cluster, check all Sphinx nodes, of course.

david.eusse · May 11, 2017, 8:32pm

Yes it is.

I restarted the process, just in case, and same results.

Does anybody else get the same problem ? If not, I’l check my config again but I believe it’s a very clean setup that I only use for testing the new versions.

Regards,

David

david.eusse · May 11, 2017, 8:53pm

Hi Jess,

I have just checked and one of my test partners works. I had it blocked before the upgrade and after unblocking him, everything works. I’m figuring out the difference between him and my other accounts and I let you know.

Regards,

David

david.eusse · May 17, 2017, 8:20pm

Hi,

Just to remind everybody. If you are using live streaming don’t forget to set your broadcast.ini again after an upgrade… I finally found the error.

Regards
