I've managed to fix it, the upgrade process hadn't created the new DB tables.
So I use the command below to copy across the missing ones : elgggeocode_cache, elggprivate_settings, elggriver - I didnt bother copying over 'elggsystem_log_1236692081', as it was empty, now my upgraded DB has 22 tables, and the install works a treat..!
CREATE TABLE {upgraded DB name}.elgggeocode_cache SELECT * FROM {fresh elgg v1.5rc2 DB}.elgggeocode_cache;
Replace { and what is inside it with the name of your database.
Okay these are missing fields to install, correct?
Elgg database _________________
Database hostname (usually 'localhost') _______________
Database table prefix (usually 'elgg') _________________
Here is the jive I get inside Elgg 1.2 when I installed it from GoDaddy (soft install) I hoped to
use that info to fill in the missign fields whereby UPGRADING. And it seemed to work but it was buggy as hell and the version still said 1.2, so it seemed like a sort of crossgrade or something, hybrid 1.2-1.5 version.
I want to therefor only hard install 1.5 can I use the old Godaddy info below to still connect the database?
The full path to your site root on your disk, followed by a trailing slash:
/home/content/t/a/h/tahoebilly09/html/
The full path to the directory where uploaded files will be stored, followed by a trailing slash
/home/content/t/a/h/tahoebilly09/html/data/
Thank you anyone who might help with this, I really need to see that new river to stay pumped on th ethis project.

Rats, none of my plugins work!! they all display the following
Any ideas ?
This is even after delting all everything in the 'mod' and copying only the standard mods from a v1.5rc2 fresh install.
Hi hope2cya
Du muss json nicht compilieren oder so. Wenn du Suse hast dann kanst du es einfach über ssh und Yast instalieren
So, nun habe ich dem Installations-Tipp von Alfalive folgend "json" installiert sowie noch das "soap"-Modul, allerdings besteht mein Problem immer noch, dass nach der Installation kein CSS-Style angezeigt wird, d.h. die Startseite erscheint als simple HTML-Seite, ohne Elgg-Image und ohne Einfärbung der Rahmen in grau, also wie gesagt ohne Styles!
Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen?
Gibt es sonst noch zwingend erforderlich Apache/PHP-Module, welche für Elgg installiert sein sollten? Mein Provider hat meinen V-Server wohl nur spärlichst installiert zur Verfügung gestellt.
Habt Ihr a<uch Infos, wie die Berechtigungen für die Elgg-Verzeichnisse gesetzt sein müssten/sollten?
Danke für Eure Hilfe schon im voraus!
Gruß

Hallo,
Ich habe leider genau den selben Fehler wie hope2cya -> kein css nach der Installation auf dem VServer.
Nach langem Suche, denke ich das der Fehler darin liegt, dass PHP im safe_mode läuft. Über die PHP.ini konnte ich den safe_mode beim Master value ausschalten (phpinfo() ), aber wo muss ich die local value auf "off" setzen ?
In der .htacess Datei von elgg hatte ich schon eine Anweisung gegeben (php_flag safe_mode off bzw, auch php_admin_flag safe_mode off) aber brachte leider nichts.
Vielen Dank für Eure Hilfe schon im Voraus
viele Grüße, Karo

Post for anyone else that has had this problem.... check your path for your "data" folder... make sure it is the server path and not a URL - I was trying to point to the data folder using:
but I should have been using:
user/public_html/data
to point to the folder... cheers!
I might be having the same issue with setup on GoDaddy.com are you talking about the
Elgg database pointer?
The above is the path that I needed to use so that when I installed elgg i wouldn't get the message "data folder is not writable".
I made the mistake of trying to use a url instead of the local path to the data folder.

Dear phil, I too didn't have any such intention.
Reworded, it looks fine , especially the addition "to work with elgg, to gather some (as I have had to) or will struggle until they have". It describes the whole process -- beginning as a beginner and go and go on, picking a piece of code-hack from here, and helping out a less-informed person there ...
Besides, I am fully aware that some Elggers like yourself spend hours here.

Thanks. Carlos or Dhrup has told me that. I feel it will be better if that part of the engine/settings.php file comes with a comment like "not implemented" or something to the effect, so that reckless people like me won't head into the 2-db temptation. LOL!
Cheers!
hi.. good topic ... nice group.... please wake-up :)
I sure that the documantation has improved greatly. I wish that the highly skilled elgg user, the ones that have no need for documentation will put some off their ime and effort into building a goodone.
Most comments above still aplly today .. almost two years after !!

Hello, I am new to elgg. I just discovered about it and love it. It is a great tool. I have successfully installed it on localhost. I need help with customizing the front page, which is the page a user logs in or registers. I simply need a manual on how to change/add things around, before log in and after log in. Can anyone point me to the right direction? Thank you.
Just hit the /upgrade.php, that resets the cache.
I just got 1.5 up on GoDaddy.com by installing the the GoDaddy ready 1.2 first, which sets up the dbase etc, then I manually upgraded the 1.5r1 files. It works but I the profile view never wants to load the plugs just keep spinning and the "report" window doesn't go away when you click on it.
Any help?
