I'm trying to install Elgg on a vanilla install of Ubuntu 10.04 (Server 64-bit)... I'm following this ubuntu guide from the docs page.
I'm having some difficulty with step 6.
6. Edit /etc/apache2/available_sites/default to allow URL rewrites
first of all there doesn't seem to be a preexisting file called /etc/apache2/available_sites/default there is however a similarly named file called vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/default. When I edit this file to allow URL rewrites it doesn't seem immediately obvious to me what I have to add or change to make this happen.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

You must log in to post replies.My current /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file looks like this...
What do I need to add or change to allow URL rewrites?
my file looks exactly like yours. I didn't even bother with this step and my elgg install works fine. have you tried uploading install zip file, extracting it, and running install.php?
I just did the instructions from HERE
EDIT: I'm also on ubuntu 10.04 and that's where my default file is located... not sure if that makes you feel better
Thanks! I didn't want to miss a step that caused future problems... But if it seems to be working for you I'll continue on!
I've corrected the instructions.
Really how complicated is the people. Anyway UBuntu 10.0.4 install Php 5.3 and Php 5.3 not work fine with many scripts and plugins
I go to post after the correct instalation for Ubuntu 10.04
Script: php.sh
Make:
Thanks for the C&P script, but it should be said that if you have any modifications to your PHP config it will wipe them without asking. Also, why are you pinning the PHP versions?
The commands listed at http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Install_Ubuntu are now accurate and should work for everyone on Ubuntu.
HI
1.- The script delete all your php 5.3 files and Install php 5.2
This means in the moment of reinstall the system ask for keep your php old configurations or write a new
I pinning the PHP version Because if not The next time you install any Php module or possible the next time you upgrade your system. Ubuntu go to change again your php 5.2 for 5.3
The system to stop that is pinning the php version :)
Again Elgg work in PHP 5.3 but many plugin only work correct in 5.2.
Also Joomla, a2billing ... not work correct in Php 5.3. The recomendation of the Ubuntu community is downgrade to 5.2
Thanks for the explanation Jacob. I didn't realize php 5.3 was that unloved in the Ubuntu community ;)
I develop Elgg on PHP 5.3.1. There have been a few reported cases of problems with 5.3, but I haven't been able to duplicate these problems. Just out of curiosity, which plugins don't work correctly in 5.3?
UHm By example the plugins of video and others I never make work in php 5.3
And is not a question of unloved is a question of many other scripts also not from elgg not work fine
