Hello,
I think what is preventing the site from working is the .htaccess. I had to delete it, in order to install Elgg. After installing, it now gives an error message whether .htaccess is in there or not. If .htaccess is deleted, it gives a 400 error; if .htaccess is there, it gives an "Application error An error occurred in the website and your page could not be displayed. If you are the website owner, check your logs for details." message.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

Which version are you installing? I'm assuming you're on Apache. When you say "had to delete it", why? Did you check Apache's error log?
Hello, Its the latest version, 2.3.3. I'm on Apache, yes (000webhost.com). I was getting the Application error, so read through the documentation and saw that some times the rewrite doesn't work, so played around with it. Nothing changed, so decided to delete the .htaccess as an experiment. The installation then worked, and I installed everything. After finishing, when it goes to ../admin, it went to a 400 message. I put the .htaccess back in, and it went to the original Application error 500 message.
Are you able to help?
Delete the created database and elgg files and try again step-by-step
they told me that last time, and the time before that.
It's something to do with the .htaccess file.
Redo a fresh install with the .htaccess and then post your URL so we can see what's happening.
Its all freshly installed, just that I did the following adjustments:
Put rewritebase /elgg-2.3.3/ at the top of .htaccess, and htaccess.dist, which I renamed to .htaccess.
I'll send you my url now...
I don't actually have any specific error log. 000webhost doesn't seem to provide them.
All I can see is its a 500 Application Error...
Have you asked them (where to find the error log)? Some hosts list them on a page in the control panel. We can't really diagnose anything from a 500 error which is why reputable hosts provide them.
000webhost don't provide error logs, unfortunately.
