FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES ONLY

The information in this wiki hasn't been maintained for a good while. Some of the projects described have since been deprecated.

In particular, the "Ushahidi Platform v3.x" section contains information that is often misleading. Many details about this version of Platform have changed since.

This website is an extraction of the original Ushahidi wiki into a static form. Because of that, functions like logging in, commenting or searching will not work.

Comment: I just added a fix to an error i received in phpmyadmin when i tried to import the zombie dataset

...

  1. Wamp says 'Aestan Tray Menu has stopped working.  This is a 64-bit problem. Fix: either install the 32-bit version of WAMP instead, or install the 64-bit version and the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64)".
  2. Wamp starts, but the little "W" won't go green. Wamp fights Skype for a port. Fix: log out of Skype and try again. You can log back into Skype once the W has gone green.
  3. Ushahidi install window says "the Curl extension is disabled". Fix: replace the curl .dll file, as described above; check that curl is uncommented in both WAMP php.ini files (see above).
  4. Labels on ushahidi front page look wrong, e.g. Ui_main.alerts.  Fix: type “git submodule update --init” in a command window in the ushahidi directory.
  5. http://localhost/yourushahidi/reports gives you the message “Not Found. The requested URL /yourushahidi/reports was not found on this server.” but address http://localhost/Ushahidi_Web-wvspeed/index.php?kohana_uri=reports works fine. Fix: follow the instructions above to "make the ushahidi urls work".
  6. Your Ushahidi homepage looks wierd weird - you can't see the map, and the text is all on the left-hand side.  Fix: follow the instructions above to "make the Ushahidi work with localhost".
  7. If you try to import the Zombie dataset into the ushahidi database, you might get an error that states, "You probably tried to upload too large file". To workaround this limit, you will have to increase values of upload_max_filesize, memory_limit and post_max_size in php.ini configuration file. It is also suggested the post_max_size and memory_limit need to be larger than upload_max_filesize.
  8. Other things go wrong. Fix: see Ushahidi wiki or post on the Ushahidi forum.
