for example: create a new vhost on your server - eg.
kaltura.bouncingminds.com

when you install the install fails - no clear reason is displayed. The reason is that the $server_root is "" and when

install/run_replace_root.php

is called the following line of code executes

from the file install/run_replace_root.php :

if (!$server_root)

{

  echo 'must have server root as argument';

  exit(4);

}

I recommend simply removing the exit (4) line.
