I just installed Kaltura CE on my mac mini to develop a little project that requires video and it worked out of the box, doing the following :

I have internet sharing activated and that enabled apache, php and mysql on my local webserver

I used Sequel Pro to create a database named kaltura then in the query tab I created a user and added a password to access the db like this :

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON kaltura.* TO 'k_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'k_pass'

FLUSH PRIVILEGES

After that I downloaded KalturaCE v1.5 - Mac OSX 386, unzipped it under my localhost, navigated to localhost/~madaerodog/KalturaCE (using Firefox, on safari a little bug with the name field appears for now)

used the snippet for permissions in the terminal, introduced the database connect information and after I saved my was partner Id I was all set, navigated to server status section exploring the great features around there

will come back with opinions about what I found there

If you need assistance making it work under OSX please ask here, and I will try to help

I tried to install it on my development server, which was running custom compiled 64 bit PHP and MySQL. I kept getting cannot find php binary error. I then downloaded XAMPP and it worked fine.

Yup! kaltureCE assumes XAMPP installation. I use standard LAMP setup on my osx.

I actually created a symlink of /usr/local/bin/php in /Application/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/, that worked for me.

Too bad, kaltureCE assumes things like that.

Creating symlink will work only if your php binary is 32 bit.

Kaltura CE does not assume installing Xampp on a mac, I have installed with the bundled php, apache and mysql every mac has installed already

so my KalturaCE is working steady, now I installed a fresh drupal in the webserver, added the Kaltura module from here by following the instructions from here Connecting Drupal to Kaltura CE (btw there is a little typo in the title "durpal" :P ), after that I made the crossdomain.xml and place it in Library/WebServer/Documents and the drupal has confirmed that my drupal Kaltura module is working fine and all settings are done right.

for now the idea/realization in growing on localhost but soon a little personal project involving video will be born on a domain, maybe even participate in the frenzy challenge :)

What's that snippet for the permissions?

Are you referring to install/fixperms.sh?

Dear all,

I've been trying to get Kaltura up and running for quite some hours without success... until I realized the latest version of XAMPP doesn't work with the actual build of Kaltura. I downgraded to 0.7.4 and everything works fine.

The installation looked fine, but the registration process at the end gives an error.

I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.7

You said you used KalturaCE v1.5 - Mac OSX 386. Is this just the Linux version?
Kaltura CE 4.0.0 Linux 32/64-bit

I followed following guide in order to install Kaltura CE on MAC OS:-

http://www.kaltura.org/kaltura-community-edition-server-osx

On step# 6, Fix permissions using the script provided by Kaltura

I got following error:-

Anyone help me.

Thanks in advance.
