I've installed older versions of Kaltura (both 5 and 6) in the past, but I wanted to see what the newest version of Kaltura is like.

I'm using centos 6.7 as the base OS, installing inside virtual box with a fake SSL certificate setup for testing. I'm following the instructions on https://github.com/kaltura/platform-install-packages/blob/master/doc/install-kaltura-redhat-based.md#ssl-step-by-step-installation and it started out fairly well. However, it fails on one a of the sub-steps during the db population portion. The databases get created without issue and it shows as connectivity passed as well. The particular error displayed is: kaltura-db-config.sh FAILED with: 6264 on line 184

The error gets logged to /opt/kaltura/log/insertContent.log and the error appears to be:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'KalturaClientException' with message 'Empty reply from server' in /opt/kaltura/app/tests/lib/KalturaClientBase.php:362
Stack trace:

2 {main}

thrown in /opt/kaltura/app/tests/lib/KalturaClientBase.php on line 362

It's interesting in that this particular step in the install seems to do a number of tests to do with uploading content - quite a number of which go through successfully. The error info doesn't seem to provide much information about why this particular one fails. I've tried re-running the install via reverting with a snapsnot, but it hangs on the same step, albeit in a slightly different place in the test.

Any idea what the issue might be?
