Moving installation to new directory

Hi all,

I just installed Kaltura on my desktop to test out (using Ubuntu 10.10) and all appears to be fine, expect that I now can't access my other webapps, so I'd like to move Kaltura to a subdirectory (so uses http://localhost/kaltura/start instead of http://localhost/start), so it doesn't interfere with my other web apps.

As I couldn't see how to easily change the directory, I edited the /etc/hosts and /opt/kaltura/app/configurations/apache/my_kaltura.conf to use http://kaltura.localhost/ which seemed to work , until I tried to log into the admin console. When I logged in I just got a blank page - whereas before I'd been able to log in fine. I assume that I've missed something in the admin console setup (maybe is has the domain name in there somewhere too?).

During the installation I didn't notice any setting to specify the directory Kaltura was in (only the domainname) and I also had a try at directly editing the my_kaltura.conf to point to the subdirectory, but not sure I've updated all the paths correctly as some links appear broken (so far, so I'm not sure what else I may have missed, or if there are other files I need to update).

So my question is, what's the easiest/best way to move to another directory after installation? Or, given this is a new install, should I just reinstall and put in localhost/kaltura as the domain name (so include the directory too) - or will this go wrong?

Hope that makes sense, any help much appreciated.
Cheers,
Alex

Well as it was a clean install, I decided just to reinstall and use http://kaltura.localhost as the domain name (after adding this to my /etc/hosts). Seems to be working fine now. Still would be interesting to know how to run it in a subdirectory rather than on the domain root as this is likely what I'll need to do once I install it on a real server rather than just my desktop :-)

Any solution how to run kaltura from a subdirectory?

i.e, http://mydomain.tld/kaltura
rather than
http://kaltura.mydomain.tld

no, still not sure how/if you can run it from a sub directory - though I've not looked at doing it for a little while.
