Installing Kaltura CE 3.0 on CentOS
Tue, 11/16/2010 - 19:10
Hello , I'm trying to install Kaltura CE 3.0 on a server running CentOS 5-5 32-bit
I've done too much work to get the prerequisites ready for the installation script however this is installation can't be done still .. The server doesn't run LAMP rather independent apache and php installations ..
I placed kaltura files on some directory in the server then ran "php install.php" .. this is the last two installations log
-----------------
[root@xxxxxxx kaltura]# php install.php

Failed to connect to database 127.0.0.1:3306 user:root. Please check the database settings you provided and verify that MySQL is up and running.
Missing file_cache_module Apache module

after that I contacted the webhosting provider and ran the installation once more and this is what I get at the end

Please resolve the issues and run the installation again.
The webhosting provider advised me to contact the script vendor so I sought to post her ..

I'm also getting the database connection issue. Instead of CentOS, I am on Ubuntu, but I don't think that should even be a factor.
I've tried with both the 'root' user (password protected) and a specified 'kalturadbuser' account (both with and without a password set in the database) and neither connects for the install script. I am completely capable of accessing mysql via command line and creating a database with both accounts; Kaltura just chokes every time.
Anyone know what Kaltura's issue is with the database connection during installation?

Where are these testimonies on the forums? I have not been able to find them or what to do about it other than clear out the root password, and that is not an option for the long term for what should be an obvious security reason. Am I to do it just for the installation and then put in the root password afterwards?

so is there anything to do in order to fix this ? .. the most thing i wonder about is the lack of entering a database name in the configuration , because where's the information gonna be stored into ?

The fix for me was in changing the database config bind-address to 127.0.0.1 instead of the external IP it had. Go figure.

Same problem here. Any suggestions? bind-adress didn't work as well other db user names etc...

forget about rtcwp07's funny answer. this would be seriously insecure.
studied the code.
simply provided my mysql root pw as
- pw for primary administrator (hopefully I can change it now)
- pw for database (that might be the issue)
anyway - works for me now.

I am struggling with the last part of OP's issues:
One or more prerequisites required to install Kaltura failed: Missing file_cache_module Apache module
I don't have file_cache_module in my Apache compile. Does it mean I have to recompile Apache? That's not ideal. Also manual for file_cache_module has warnings about using it. I assume there has to be a way without using file_cache_module?
my first guess is that your issues may have something to do with the fact that you are using a mysql root password. i know that it is heavily documented (via testimonies on the forums, at least) that for some reason the software does not like a password to be set for the mysql root user - which is scary, i know...
