Kaltura/Installation

Hardware Requirements

As of version: Kajam-11.7.0:

• 2Ghz Processor (Dual-Core)
• 1GB of RAM
• 5GB HDD for Kaltura installation (not counting space for videos)
• 64bit Ubuntu

Start

Before you start, switch to root. Kaltura expects that all installation instructions are performed as root.

~/home/user$sudo -s

Install apache2 and mysql

both of these will need to be installed first and changes need to be made to each before anything else

root@kaltura-server:~# sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y apache2 mysql-server

Choose your mysql root password and remember it.

mysql

search for [mysqld] within /etc/mysql/my.cnf and add a line: sql-mode =

root@kaltura-server:~# vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf
/[mysqld
[mysqld]
sql-mode =

Apache2

disable the default site

root@kaltura-server:~# a2dissite 000-default.conf
root@kaltura-server:~# service apache2 reload

edit hosts file

You'll need to specify a FQDN during the installation. If you just want to get something going without buying a domain is just to modify your hosts file:

root@kaltura-server:/# vi /etc/hosts
add something like:
 127.0.0.1       localhost
 127.0.1.1       kaltura-server kaltura-server.mydomain.com kaltura.mydomain.com

Flush dns

root@kaltura-server:/# sudo service dns-clean start

Test

root@kaltura-server:/# ping kaltura.mydomain.com
