Where's the samples?

After install, the page at http://localhost/kalturaCE/index.php has links to samples for me to look at and begin building from. This is supposed to be the next step towards understanding Kaltura and to begin coding.

However, the paths in these links don't exist. For example, the link "Player Gallery" points to http://localhost/kalturaCE/api_v3/sample/players/ but that path doesn't exist. Running the command
find . -name "sample" -print
shows me this path exists: ./kaltura/api_v3/web/sample
but going to that page
http://localhost/kalturaCE//kaltura/api_v3/web/sample/players/
renders the following on the page:
Default partner with ID "1" was not found!

What now? Keep in mind, going to the home page http://localhost/kalturaCE/index.php tells me "Your KalturaCE Server Is Up And Running". The logs seem kosher too. So, if the install is good, what's the next step towards learning how to use Kaltura?

I'm having the same problem. Would love to know what to try next. Running out of time soon. :/

[EDIT:] I just got it working using XAMPP 1.7.1. I was trying without xampp before. I have no clue what makes the difference.

See this posting: http://www.kaltura.org/problems-after-installation

So, I ran the command sudo a2enmod rewrite

And, for me, the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default had to be changed
from this -
Directory /var/www/
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all

to this:
Directory /var/www/
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all

Now, clicking on Server Monitor link actually takes me somewhere. New problem; I can't seem to log in to the login page it takes me to, but that's another thread discussion I'll start if needed.

Okay, this is a follow up from my post above to report that I've FINALLY got Kaltura up and running (and interacting with me)!

All I had left to do was get credentials to log in to my locally installed instance with. See http://www.kaltura.org/install-success-cant-do-anything and read what user ABDUL said to do. I guessed at what form fields to fill out, doing what I could like username and password. I unchecked other fields I didn't understand. Then, I was successful logging into the KMC. In there, I clicked an admin control to bring up all the downed services. No prob, it just did it!

This has been a long two days of wrestling with installation for me but, if it helps other deflated souls still fighting the bear, let me remind you that it's doable. Even by someone as non-LAMP savvy as myself.
