June 19, 2012 by Arvind Das

I have a new installation of Kaltura CE5 on my machine and i want to fetch data from previous installation in my current Kaltura CE5. This is how, I have achieve this.

Export your CE 5 Data Base

Run the following command (replace [user] and [password] with relevant values:

mysqldump kaltura -u[user] -p[password] > kaltura.sql

Install CE 5.0

Backup CE5 installation data, /opt/kaltura/web directory and install Kaltura CE5.

Rsync back up web directory to your CE5 web directory

For example

rsync -r pathtobackup/web/ /opt/kaltura/web/

Replace values for (only) batch partner “-1” from new database with values in backup kaltura.sql file. Replace old values with new one in kaltura.sql
Import your CE5 DataBase from previous installation
Run the following command (replace [user] and [password] with relevant values):
```
mysql kaltura -u[user] -p[password] < kaltura.sql
```
Run the migration scripts

php /opt/kaltura/app/deployment/updates/update.php

If still videos do not display under content tab execute this script

php /opt/kaltura/app/scripts/utils/updatePartnerEntries2Sphinx.php “partner_id”

It should execute without errors else execute again.
If videos do not play

chmod -R 777 /opt/kaltura/web/content/entry/data

Execute the script below if you are unable to see newly uploaded content after rebooting server

/usr/bin/php /opt/kaltura/app/plugins/sphinx_search/scripts/populateFromLog.php /opt/kaltura/app/plugins/sphinx_search/scripts/configs/server-sphinx.php

Run the Above script as a background process. Follow Instructions below

create a file as sphinx_server.sh and copy the above code into it as

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/php /opt/kaltura/app/plugins/sphinx_search/scripts/populateFromLog.php /opt/kaltura/app/plugins/sphinx_search/scripts/configs/server-sphinx.php > /dev/null 2>&1 &

save and change its permissions to chmod +x sphinx_server.sh

Thanks for detailed instructions. I have few questions though: 1. Do I need to stop any services (https, sphinx_watch.sh,etc.) at any point? 2. If I use a new virtual host name in the new installation, what other changes are needed? No video content
