Kaltura Community Edition - System Requirements
Thu, 05/07/2009 - 00:18
Linux, Apache 2.2, Mysql 5 and PHP 5.2.2+.
Linux -
Any Debian based and 32Bit distribution.
Successfuly tested on the following:
Debian 2.6+
Ubuntu 8.04+
SMTP server should be installed on the system and configured to run on localhost:25.
It is highly recommended to run KalturaCE under XAMPP installation (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html), if your system is not configured yet - use XAMPP.
KalturaCE also requires the following to be installed:
php-cli, libcURL, memcache (optional, but recommended for better performance) and mod-rewrite.

At the moment, you'd have to do a lot of changes on your own to run it on Windows.
mainly changing the way it works with ffmpeg (and also recompile it for it)..
Maybe Gonen will be able to provide more info about what is needed.
We do have plans to make a windows version, but it will not be any time during the alpha (and not for the beta I think).
You're more than welcome to try and change it to windows, and we will try to provide as much help possible.
Please post an issue/feature request on the subject in the issues manager of the kalturaCE project so that people can vote for it..

Thanks for the info, Kalturian. Porting it to Windows would be way out of the scope of my expertise. I'll give some thought to installing LINUX on my local system and setting up a dual boot. I've posted a feature request in the issues manager as you requested.

Hi nitetalker,
The CE will not work smoothly on windows right now.
As Kalturian said - all binaries (ffmpeg, mencoder etc.) are built for debian based Linux distros.
Another important feature is the batch management - it uses bash scripts in order to run and monitor the different batch jobs (as well as controlling them from the KMC page).
However, for testing/trying/development purposes, you can install a virtual OS under your windows box (use software like MS Virtual PC, VMWare or others to host a guest Linux system) so you don't have to dual boot in order to run KalturaCE.
For deployment purpose I wouldn't recommend using a virtual machine...

I'm interested in running Kaltura across a LAN for an educational project in a local Mosque.
We currently, have a high end Mac Pro - with a 4TB video archive, at one end of the LAN, and a bunch of very low spec recycle laptops, with a couple of new laptops for the collaborative video editing project in the Mosque. The video archive / server is on the LAN but in a separate building.
I'm assuming from what I've read that the way to go would be either buy some more hardware to run a Debian based system or set up a dual boot Debian OSX set up on the Mac Pro. That is unless there a good chance that we can get the katura Community server to work under OSX?
Assuming we need to buy a PC, - is there any advice regarding the server hardware spec - ie not just the spec required for running the software - but also for getting good performance for as high quality video as is feasible. For instance is there any hardware that will speed up and video processing - graphic cards, encoder hardware, or are we just talking processor speed etc?
Finally any pointers to where to look i the code / what would be involved in setting up a system where the Community server rests on the PC, but the video editing delegated to the MacPro Server?

"That is unless there a good chance that we can get the katura Community server to work under OSX?"
You will need to recompile the following programs:
1) PHP
2) Memcache
3) libevent
4) ffmpeg
I was able to install Kaltura CE on a Centos 5.2 machine.

Would be good to know which version of Ubuntu is recommended - the server version or teh Desktop version - 64 bit or 32 bit?

david,
Read the Getting-Started Guide, this tells pretty much everything.
It is also mentioned here above; 32bit versions only. doesn't matter if it's server or desktop.

I need to konw how to install it onto a windows platform for test demontrtion. Then i'll install production release onto a webserver allowing me to customize php configuration.
Can anyone help me for that?

edouardito,
The notice you get - is just a PHP notice about a use of non-existing parameter.
This doesn't affect the installation in anyway.
If you can't proceed with installation (get a failure with only "retry" link) - this is probably because you're trying to install on windows.
The KalturaCE in its current alpha stage doesn't support installation on windows, and you must be failing on FFMPEG.
Your current alternatives are:
1. stay on windows, download the vmware appliance (ubuntu + kalturaCE) - run it and install the kalturaCE on the virtual machine.
2. get a linux box (debian-based) - and install kalturaCE on that box
3. wait until we have a windows-supported version of kalturaCE.

You might want to hold off on that... Apparently the new version of Kaltura CE supports Windows out-of-the-box. It should be making it's way to this site within the next couple of days!

Hi,
I was checking the Kaltura CE system requirements with my hosting provider and they said this:
"...we do not offer Apache 2.2. Although I suspect your software will work with Apache 1.3, PHP5/mySQL5..."
Is there any reason why KCE won't work on Apache 1.3? They've asked me to let them know of any specific reasons why KCE needs Apache 2.2. Can anyone enlighten me please.
Many thanks
Is there any point in even trying to run CE on WinXP in a local XAMPP installation?
