I was able to install without httpd SSL . Troubleshooting.

jess · March 27, 2018, 6:57pm

OK. With SSL, please make sure to also set the CA. To verify the Apache SSL config, you can use:

# curl $SERVICE_URL

If that succeeds [without passing the -k arg] then you should be good to go.

Hi Jess,
Thank you for reply. I can’t login to admin console. And I can’t get reset password by email. I’m using right email and password. Please advise. Thanks, Dmitri

Hi @astrava,

I suspect your DB deployment did not complete successfully.
Also, I am a bit confused by the thread’s subject. Are you upgrading the DB from CE 6 or deploying a fresh one as you’ve previously indicated? Upgrading from 6 is a pretty complex [or perhaps complicated would be a better word] process which is detailed here:

Assuming this is a new deployment and NOT an upgrade from 6, I recommend you drop the existing DB with:

# /opt/kaltura/bin/kaltura-drop-db.sh

and then redeploy it by calling:

# /opt/kaltura/bin/kaltura-db-config.sh <mysql-hostname> <mysql-super-user> <mysql-super-user-passwd> <mysql-port>
# /opt/kaltura/bin/kaltura-dwh-config.sh

If something fails during the execution of either of these scripts, please post the exact output as well as the relevant log entries from the log files I specified before.

astrava · March 28, 2018, 2:09pm

It was a magic. I was able to connect after running kaltura-drop-db.sh and kaltura-db-config.sh.

Hi @astrava,

After deploying a new DB, /opt/kaltura/app/configurations/batch/batch.ini needs to be updated so that the secret directive is set to the admin_secret of partner -1.
Get the secret with:

mysql>  select admin_secret from partner where id=-1;

update the file and restart the kaltura-batch service.

jess · March 28, 2018, 10:12pm

Hi @astrava,

See here:

This was fixed for 13.16.0 which was released today but you can easily patch the batch.ini file manually as I explained in my reply.

The DWH test sometimes fails due to timing, does not necessarily means anything is wrong. Check /opt/kaltura/dwh/logs/*log for errors, if you see none, we should be OK.

The @MONIT_PASSWD@ token is replaced in kaltura-base-config.sh.
Not sure why it was not replaced in your case but you can edit the file manually and set a passwd. Once done, restart the kaltura-monit service.

For general guidance in regards to Monit’s configuration, see:
