While installing Kaltura CE5 on Ubuntu 14.04, I faced and figured out the solution of the issues. Hopefully this blog will help people out of the irritation due to the less explored Kaltura issues and save their time on finding the solution.

Issue 1:Permission Denied

After successfully installation if you are encountered with a 403 http error, saying the the Permission Denied, then do the following changes in the apache2.conf file generally located at /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

<Directory />

        Options FollowSymLinks

        AllowOverride None

        Require all granted

</Directory>

so instead of denied, it should be granted.

Issue 2:After making a publisher, on clicking manage gives error

So after resolving the Issue 1, you will be able to start kaltura on system and consequently entering the credentials that were given by you while installation. Now create a publisher and select manage from action drop box, that may redirect to a 500 internal server error page(Symfony error).

This can be solved by commenting 2 lines with semi-colon(;) from the php.yml file which is usually located at /opt/kaltura/app/symfony-data/config/php.yml

set:

;  magic_quotes_runtime:        off

  log_errors:                  on

  arg_separator.output:        |

    &amp;

warn:

;  magic_quotes_gpc:            off

  register_globals:            off

  session.auto_start:          off

Thanks.
