Just a note first, the lack of error display in Elgg is frustrating.
The problem: This is my first go at using/installing elgg and although most of it looks fantastic, I've found some frustration with getting white pages after the initial install. I've not installed any plugins whatsoever. I created the first user account, uploaded a profile pic, edited the profile, adn then went to the Administration tab. As soon as I hit that I get a white page. The error_log shows nothing helpful from what I can see and the lack of actual PHP errors or any other helpful errors to explain what is going on is frustrating (as mentioned).
Any ideas on this?

You must log in to post replies.I just couple of hours ago went through the same hassle of having no php errors while getting white page. I discovered the .htaccess turned off the display_errors. Open the .htaccess file and search for the line:
php_value display_errors 0
Change it to this:
# php_value display_errors 0
And you'll get the PHP error messages.
Ah, no... the problem was that I gave my initial user the username "admin". That should be restricted somehow... that's a stupid problem to even be allowed to have.
Anyway, thanks for "Just Trying". :)
