Guys,
Here are my instructions for quick install on CentOS (RH/Fedora will work too), including the recompile of PHP to support Kahona and the require configure options. Feel free to use, repost, etc.

(See [http://wiki.ushahidi.com/doku.php?id=how_to_install_ushahidi wiki.ushahidi.com/doku.php] for more details)
Some SPRM rebuilding will be necessary, check [Rebuild RPM/SRPM] in this Wiki
=== Requirements
===
PHP >= 5.2.4 (--with-iconv --enable-mbstring --with-mcrypt)
mcrypt (--disable-posix-threads --enable-dynamic-loading)
HTTP server
MySQL server
The "CentOS-Testing" repository can be useful for this, it lives at [http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/SRPMS/ dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/SRPMS/]
=== Steps
===
Install dependencies
yum -y install curl-devel db4-devel expat-devel gmp-devel aspell-devel httpd-devel libpng-devel pam-devel
openssl-devel sqlite-devel zlib-devel pcre-devel readline-devel krb5-devel libc-client-devel
cyrus-sasl-devel openldap-devel mysql-devel postgresql-devel unixODBC-devel libxml2-devel
net-snmp-devel libxslt-devel libxml2-devel ncurses-devel gd-devel freetype-devel mysql-server libmcrypt
libmcrypt-devel libtool-ltdl libtool-ltdl libtool-ltdl-devel bzip2-devel libstdc++-devel libtool gcc-c++
*'''Install the minimum software'''
*'''Edit the php.spec file and check that the required options are present'''
*'''Rebuild the PHP SRPMs to add the configuration options mentioned above (do this as a user)'''
rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/php.spec
*'''When the rebuild is done, install the newly-created RPMs (32-bit/64-bit)'''
32bit: rpm -Uvh /home/[username]/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/php*
64bit: rpm -Uvh /home/[username]/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/php*
*'''Install the Ushahidi application tree'''
*'''Create a database'''
mysqladmin -p create ushahidi
*'''Create a database user'''
mysql -p -e 'grant all on ushahidi.* to ushahidi identified by "password"'
*'''Create the config directory'''
mkdir /var/www/html/[baseurl]/config/
*'''Set permissions'''
chown -R root.apache /var/www/html/[baseurl]
cd /var/www/html/[baseurl]
chmod -R g+w config/
chmod g+w application/config
chmod g+w application/logs
chmod g+w application/cache/
*'''Enable .htaccess to override the server configuration'''
vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/ushahidi.conf
And enter:
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from All
*'''Restart the web server
'''
*'''Run the configuration script at http://[web server address]/ushahidi
'''
*'''Access the administrative interface at http://[web server address]/ushahidi/login (admin/admin)'''
=== Troubleshooting
===
Check /var/www/html/[basename]/application/config/config.php
If the installation was done in a folder other than /ushahidi (within the web server directory), update the RewriteBase directive in the .htaccess file
=== Rebuild RPM/SRPM
===
If SRPM rebuilding is necessary, do the following:
(from [http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetupRpmBuildEnvironment wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetupRpmBuildEnvironment]):
(as root)
yum install rpm-build redhat-rpm-config make gcc
(as user)
mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
echo '%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild' > ~/.rpmmacrosTo rebuild in one step (if the are no changes to make to the SPEC file):
rpmbuild --rebuild /tmp/mypackage-1.0.0-1.src.rpm
If you need to change the SPEC file (ie. to change configure options), then install the SRPM, change the SPEC file (~/rpmbuild/SPEC) and do
rpmbuild -ba mypackage.spec
'''Make sure you don't mix 32-bit and 64-bit libraries.'''
