Welcome to Elgg.

Elgg couldn't find its settings file. Most of Elgg's settings will be handled for you, but we need you to supply your database details. To do this:

1. Rename engine/settings.example.php to settings.php in your Elgg installation.

2. Open it with a text editor and enter your MySQL database details. If you don't know these, ask your system administrator or technical support for help.

Alternatively, you can enter your database settings below and we will try and do this for you...

Enter your database settings below and hit save:

Database user
Database password
Elgg database
Database hostname (usually 'localhost')
Database table prefix (usually 'elgg_')

 

 

Once you've corrected any configuration issues, press reload to try again.
