Hi,
I'd like to know if you suggest a linux distribution for installing kaltura commmunity ?
I think at this time you are proposing RPM (https://github.com/kaltura/platform-install-packages/blob/master/doc/install-kaltura-redhat-based.md) and deb (https://github.com/kaltura/platform-install-packages/blob/master/doc/install-kaltura-deb-based.md)
Do you have more issues/questions/problems on a distribution, on which ?
Best regards,
Fred
Hi Fred,
We have a CI system which checks installs and upgrades on the following distros [all 64bit]:
- CentOS 6
- CentOS 7
- Ubuntu 14.04 [LTS]
In addition, I also test on Debian Jesse.
So, any of these should be fine and of course, seeing how CentOS is basically RHEL, RHEL 6 and 7 should be just as good.
Kaltura save permissions for files generates at ../content/entry/data/0/0/... how 640 and I need change it for 644 because I need access in mode read by other users. Where could I change it?
Hi,
This is done in the code and I wouldn't recommend changing it manually either. You would also have to do it after each upgrade.
A far better way would be to add these users to the group. If they are in the group, since the group has read permissions, they will be able to read it.
That explains why my results on this distro are not the same. I wasn't using the LTS version when setting it up on AWS Cloud. I will have to play around with it on AWS using the same distro you mention here.
I have had the most success with CentOS 6 non-SSL installations.
Hi @hiphopservers,
Seeing how you got "Error - bailing out!" when running dwh-config, the population obviously did not complete successfully.
I suggest you:
- Drop all tables and stored procedures from the following DBs again:
| kalturadw |
| kalturadw_bisources |
| kalturadw_ds |
| kalturalog
#!/bin/bashto:
#!/bin/bash -xadding -x will mean all the actions /opt/kaltura/dwh/setup/dwh_ddl_install.sh does will be outputted to STDERR, this will allow you to see where it fails
I add the caption code to the file /opt/kaltura/dwh/setup/dwh_ddl_install.sh as suggested and no errors were displayed on command line.
I can only see that when I run DWH that that specific table is missing from the database. Previously, I saw notes to disable monit and other services but even when I tried that I got an error. I did see errors in kaltlog but I do not think those are related to this issue.

Are you able to provide a way to manually add the missing tables or a sample of the correct DWH database structure?
Hello,
I'm finally at a point, and with time, where I can try this process. I've been reading the doc at https://github.com/kaltura/platform-install-packages/tree/master/doc/kaltura-updater/core. In section 3.1where it talks about creating the config file, it sounds as if I need to have lines for every version/release from where I am now to the most current release
RELEASES="falcon_2012_08_20"
RELEASES="$RELEASES gemini_2012_09_19"
RELEASES="$RELEASES gemini_2012_10_22"
RELEASES="$RELEASES gemini_2013_01_07"
RELEASES="$RELEASES gemini_2013_01_28"
RELEASES="$RELEASES gemini_2013_02_18"
RELEASES="$RELEASES gemini_2013_02_22"
RELEASES="$RELEASES gemini_2013_03_04"
RELEASES="$RELEASES gemini_2013_03_14"
RELEASES="$RELEASES gemini_2013_03_18"

RELEASES="$RELEASES gemini_2013_07_16_1"
I believe my current install Community Edition v6.0.0 dev is a 'falcon' release, but I have no idea if it's '2012 08 20'.
So I guess I'm asking;
a) is there a list of all releases somewhere, and
b) am I correct in understanding that I need to fill that array up with 2.5 more years of releases
Any help at all appreciated.
Hi @verdonv1,
This guide is a result of Joost Pluijmers doing an upgrade from Falcon so I believe, considering you have the same version, keeping the array of releases exactly as it is in the guide should work for you too. It is a rather difficult upgrade to perform but the good news are once you are over it, incremental upgrades are far easier:)
If you come across specific issues, please post them and I'll do my best to assist you.
The data is on an NFS disk and disk access as the user nfsnobody. So I need put read permissions to other users. Could you tell me which file or files would have to modify it?
I know that I will have to do this every time you update code.
Thanks @jess ,
I'm sure you'll hear from me 
I asked about details on other releases as that sample config is about a year old, and the array goes from Falcon (6) to several points of Gemini (7), but the RPM-based releases start at 9... leaving me wondering if there aren't several more db patches to go through, since that sample config was created... just trying to cover all bases.
Hello,
I'm trying to generate a list of users in the KMS with certain patterns in the userId field. The "Manage Users" page in the KMS UI doesn't not allow me to search that way unless I'm missing a setting or something. Is there a way to do this with an API call?
Thanks,
Kumi
Hi,
You can do:
user->list() with filter:objectType=KalturaUserFilter and then user:
idOrScreenNameStartsWith="jess"
or
idEqual="jess.portnoy@kaltura.com"
or:
idIn="jess.portnoy@kaltura.com,someone@else.com"
Thanks for your quick response, Jess.
I was hoping there was a "contains" search filter - I don't see it as an option supported in KalturaUserFilter. Do you know any other way to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Kumi
Hi,
I suggest you go here:
http://www.kaltura.com/api_v3/testme/
in service choose user, choose list as action, under KalturaUserFilter, hit edit, which will open a sub form with all available options.
The test me console can also generate code but note that it does not always produce working examples. Nonetheless, for checking out the available options, this is a good tool.
I'll give it a try - Thanks again, Jess!

Hi,
How to configure a HTML5 player when i use by default Flash player ?
Regards,
Hello,
Go to KMC->Studio and either create a new player [all players created by Studio will be HTML5] or upgrade the existing Flash one. Personally, I recommend testing the HTML5 player before upgrading the existing since you cannot revert that.
Hi,
Not sure I understand how the user who owns the data is nfsnobody. It should be owned by your Apache user or the batch user [kaltura] since these are the users that created the files there.
In which case, you should be able to add whatever users you want to the apache group.
