Ok, so I have been playing with Elgg today ready for my big beta launch of the next Facebook LOL.
First install went well, I am using 1.7.10 so I am guessing its stable. Following instructions I have unpacked ELGG into a folder within one of my domains, created a Data folder with full permissions, created a MySql DB then opened the site from my browser (Chrome) Great! Got a first form asking for my database info, that went well, then onto the larger form filling in all the other bits - fantastic, damn this is so simple, wish I'd done it ages ago!
Clicked on Save - ok, things are taking there time, slow refresh, went for coffee, came back still refreshing, left it for a while still refreshing.... nope thats as far as I got.
Ok simple, clean reinstall... deleted the folder, deleted the DB, started again, same thing
One more time, lots of info about incorrect attributes in the install folder
Final clean reinstall.... nothing, I go to the url - blank screen
Try clean install in two other domains - - blank screen
Try clean install of 1.8.0b2 (just in case) - blank screen
Deleted and rebuilt DB's still same result
I know the troubleshooting says its a MySql module error, but I have no idea how to sort this - I am using cPanel, I know my way round a system, so not really newbie status - just waiting for response from hosting tech support - might be a problem at their end (fingers crossed) but if anyone can give me a few hints I would be more than gratefull :)

You must log in to post replies.Hosting Tech support are telling me its a permissions error and told me to try a fresh install one more time.... been there, done that, still getting a 500 Server Error :(
What hosting are you using? Did you try using the auto installer that is on cPanel to install elgg?

It sounds like you found the installation troubleshooting page, so that's good. Also make sure the host supports everything you need to run Elgg.
Look in your PHP and Apache error logs for information about what is causing the error and paste it here.
No PHP error log, Main Error log has some interesting redirects ---->

Just strange that it works the first time (well almost, now I am getting absolutely nowhere.... there has to be something that I need to reset, delete, edit or whatever.... looks like its gonna be a long night LOL - just love these challenges
Persistence and caffeine paid off..... simple problem, the permissions for the root folder was set to 777, not 755 :)
Thanks for your time guys
