Major Kaltura install issue CentOS7

Community Forums Backend Server Support
1

I have given up installing on Ubuntu and now trying on CentOS 7 following tutorial “Installing Kaltura on a Single Server (RPM)”.

Upon getting to

yum install kaltura-server

I’m getting this error: http://screencast.com/t/bXfabizT29Rb upon which time, the installation breaks before it even begins.

Hello,

Your problem stems from the kaltura.repo file.
Should be:
[Kaltura]
name = Kaltura Server
baseurl = http://installrepo.origin.kaltura.org/releases/rhel7/RPMS/$basearch/
gpgkey = http://installrepo.kaltura.org/releases/RPM-GPG-KEY-kaltura
gpgcheck = 1
enabled = 1

[Kaltura-noarch]
name = Kaltura Server arch independent
baseurl = http://installrepo.origin.kaltura.org/releases/stable/RPMS/noarch
gpgkey = http://installrepo.kaltura.org/releases/RPM-GPG-KEY-kaltura
gpgcheck = 1
enabled = 1

There is no special noarch repo for rhel7 since it does not include anything that requires binary deps.

Also, what was the issue with installing on Ubuntu?

It is specified in the tutorial that the baseurl needs to be changed:

http://screencast.com/t/4mxLm1Ja -> should be more explanatory: the baseurl to be changed is just the Kaltura repo and not the Kaltura-noarch :smile:

I have replied here regarding Ubuntu: Kaltura fails to install on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS

Will give it a go with the default kaltura repo

Thank you!

And indeed it does. But only for the $basearch repo, not for noarch.
See the example I posted above. ‘stable’ and ‘latest’ point to the same location so both are fine to use. They include version 10.19.0 which is the same version as Kaltura’s SaaS has. For the nightly branch, you can specify ‘nightly’ instead which will fetch version 10.20.0.
I will also reply on your other thread.

Also, if you feel the section https://github.com/kaltura/platform-install-packages/blob/Jupiter-10.20.0/doc/install-kaltura-redhat-based.md#note-on-rhelcentos-7 is unclear, I am open to pull requests:)

I would go for:

If you are using RHEL/CentOS 7, edit /etc/yum.repos.d/kaltura.repo and change:

[Kaltura]
name = Kaltura Server
baseurl = baseurl = http://installrepo.kaltura.org/releases/latest/RPMS/$basearch/
...

to

[Kaltura]
name = Kaltura Server
baseurl = http://installrepo.origin.kaltura.org/releases/rhel7/RPMS/$basearch/
...

leaving [Kaltura-noarch] as it is.

Nick

Later edit
I confirm, installation works with the repo settings specified above.

Hi,

Glad to hear all is well.
I modified the section a bit in hope that it will be clearer for others:
