Install KalturaCE windows build
Mon, 04/19/2010 - 11:57
I tried to install the KalturaCE windows build to a Windows 2003 server with Aparche 2.2, PHP 5.25 and MySQL 5.0x
The installation worked out fine, but all 7 processes under batchwatch are not operational (down).
I tried to debug it and I have come to the point whereas I believe that in order for the processes to run, then all .sh files within the kaltura/alpha/batch/ should be converted to Windows equivalents (not linux commands).
What are the process to make the batchwatch processes work under Windows, as a Windows build is officialy released?

Hi Jeffrey Jones.
I'm also using a WAMPserver on a Windows XP machine (Apache 2.2.11, MySql 5.1.36 and PHP 5.3.0). I wanted to install the Kaltura extension in a Joomla 1.5 website which I am developing at home on my XP desktop. I also have some ambitions for future modifications to a Moodle installation which I plan to install initially on this XP desktop.
I am however really confused.
I have downloaded the Kaltura Joomla extension, joomla_extension_v1.0.0.zip which I installed via the Joomla 1.5 back-end.
I then realized that I need a streaming media host to store my video clips which I will be showing on my website.
Either I can subscribe to Kaltura's Video Management Console (KMC) or I can run the open source Kaltura Community Edition of the KMC on my own server. I opted for the Community Edition.
But what do I need to download? What is the difference between 'alpha_0.95' and 'kalturaCE_v1.5_win32'????
Can anyone help me on this and does anyone know how to install KalturaCE on a Windows XP machine hosting a Joomla 1.5 website via WAMPserver????

In case you haven't figured it out yet, KalturaCE is the video management "back end" -- video applications (players, editors, converters), and an admin window to manage them and the content they produce. "alpha_0.95" is the "front end" - it delivers the various applications and videos managed by Kaltura as resources and activities in a Moodle course. The Moodle front end will use any Kantura install, including Kaltura's own service which would live on their servers.
The problem is that, for us folks with our feet in both camps (Windows and open source), it doesn't look like KalturaCE is happy with WAMP. I've yet to find anyone in these forums who's gotten KalturaCE to work on that platform. XAMPP seems to work, and, of course, LAMP does. Unfortunately, XAMPP doesn't seem to be a production platform, and my circumstances (within a public school district) eliminates Linux as a server OS -- none of the systems folks here will support it.
I've made more progress since the above posting -- we have KalturanCE running on a WAMP install and it shows all the services as running. But it has yet to do any actual work besides delivering the videos included with the install. The Moodle interface works great, but since Kantura isn't doing any work, it's pretty much moot.

What kind of work is the CE not doing for you?

The upload process seems to work, and creates an entry in the conversion logs under "Server" in the MC. But the conversion doesn't happen. Drilling down in the MC for a specific upload shows no errors, but no progress either. We're also getting a lot of lockups, requiring Apache to be restarted.
I have had zero time to work on this install (we're gearing up for a major 2-day workshop on a lot of other school district capabilities), so I can't say I've chased down error messages or tried anything serious.
I've only found VMWARE documentation on Windows support. I haven't gotten as far as you, so I'd be curious as to how you got that far. I'm current using a Wampserver2i install on an ordinary Windows XP machine, with the goal of eventually installing it on a W2003 Server box for use with our Moodle install. We already have Mahara there, but are desperate for locally-managed media support.
