Hey guys,

i installed Kaltura CE on Ubuntu 10.04 successfully:

The name of the domain name/virtual host you will use for your kaltura CE server

The domain name (or virtual hostname) you use for the Kaltura CE installation should be set within the /etc/hosts file as follows:

127.0.0.1 kaltura

-----------

thats what i added. But i really dont know how to reach the kaltura domain via my root server i installed kaltura?

http://ip/ will lead to the /var/www/ webspace folder.

my /etc/hosts file looks like that:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 kaltura
xx.xx.xx.xx.xx. servername prename (<-- server ip etc)

What shall i do now?

I add a subdomain for my kaltury installation. I configure the apache with a virtual host. The DocumentRoot is the Installation path to the kaltura installation, in my case /opt/local/kaltura .
So i can access kaltura with the http://kaltura.yourdomain.de
In the /etc/hosts i add
127.0.0.1 kaltura.yourdomain.de
If you installed kalturaCE in /var/www/kalturaCE than you can access kaltura with the url: http://yourdomain.de/kalturaCE.

Hi,

You shouldn't set your apache conf, this needs to be set from the installation.
since Kaltura is not designed (it can be modified, but not out of the box) to run as a folder, you always have to make sure you have a domain to the server.

So if you installed Kaltura on a directory like this: /var/www/kalturaCE you apache conf should have a subdomain pointing to that folder. And you hosts file should have a directive that points that subdomain to the localhost (127.0.0.1).
