High School Install on Leopard Server (10.5)

I teach digital media at the high school level and have the unfortunate task of also being the NetTech for my lab (36 iMacs, 2 Mac Pros, 2 Xserves). I had no prior background in running a Mac lab or ever touching an Xserve, so I have been learning under fire.

Anyhow, one of the Xserves is our Web server. Currently I host my class Web site: maclab.edisonchargers.com/ and the school paper: thebolt.edisonchargers.com/. We are starting a new broadcast club with a class or two next year. I run WPMU on both. Ideally I'd like to run BuddyPress to promote student collaboration, but still need to figure it out. I anticipate the broadcast to be popular and I'd love to build a YouTube like setup for it and eventually teacher and studio video projects and screencasts.

Would this be something that Kalture CE would be good for? How hard is it to get installed on OS X server if I am not a super guru?

Nobody has installed on Leopard server? No guides? Instructions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

while i have not installed on a mac (windows and linux success here), maybe i can help a little bit.

did you read this guide: http://www.kaltura.org/kaltura-ce-git-macports? or did you hunt around the forums to see if someone posted instructions for installing on a mac? anyhoo....

or the manual way. note, this instructions are really boiled down. you will run into road blocks, but hopefully this gets you going.

download xampp 1.7.1 for mac (google it)
download kalturaCE for mac
install xampp
extract kalturaCE to the htdocs folder. the path would look something like this: file system/lampp/htdocs/KalturaCE
sitting on the mac server, from a browser, go to, http://localhost
navigate your way to phpmyadmin, under 'MySQL localhost' create a new database called KalturaCE
from your browser, go to, http://localhost/KalturaCE
hopefully you are greeted with the installer and it is pretty easy to go from there.

good luck.
