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.

I tried installing Ushahidi 2.5 (Cairo) on OSX version 10.8.2 using MAMP 2.1.1. I followed the installation instructions in the README.markdown file that ships with Ushahidi, with the minor modification that I used phpMyAdmin instead of command-line MySQL to create my MySQL database.

Installation worked without a hitch and concluded with a message that said "Installation successful." However, I got a white screen when I visited http://localhost:8888/ushahidi/admin as instructed. I was able to get past the whitescreen error by switching to an older version of PHP in my MAMP preferences. My MAMP ships with PHP 5.2.17 and PHP 5.4.4. When I switched from 5.4.4 to 5.2.17 the login page displayed as expected and I was able to log in.
