I was recently faced with getting an installation of kaltura video server running on a fully up to date CentOS 5.5 server. This sounded like a normal/easy LAMP install that I expected to have online with an hour or so, but it proved to be more difficult due to the requirements of the software.
When I ran the install script, I was told the following:
MySQL version should be >= 5.1.33 (current version is 5.0.77)
This was problematic as the main CentOS repo did not have those versions, and trying to do a manual upgrade of the MySQL rpm’s from their website resulted in package conflicts.
Luckily that changed when I googled up this page on using the remi repository.
# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
# rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm
! ## no longer needed in php 5.3, will cause dependency failures
# yum remove php-mhash
! ## now you can actually install the packages you need
# yum –enablerepo=remi,remi-test install mysql mysql-server memcached php-pecl-memcache
Now you should run
to upgrade your tables for the latest 5.5 release and try to run the
from within the kaltura installer again.
If you encounter an error when setting up the database, check the install log file in the install directory to see what the error is.
If it is similar to this:
Then you simply need to edit package/app/app/deployment/base/sql/02.schema_updates.sql and replace “Type=MyISAM” with “Engine=MyISAM” (the new standard in 5.5).
