Where does the Data Folder go ??

The path is www.mysite.com/

should the installtion be in a subfolder with the data folder outside??

  • Hi,

     

    do you know, it would be good if the installation instruction instructions were clear and not so confusing!

    I am trying to install the script and during installation its asking me for the absoloute data path ????

    where can i place that ?

    everything that i have tried has failed!! i keep getting this dumb message .. We don't think "http://www.kiXXXXx.com/Data/" is an absolute path for your data directory

     

    these are the only folders i have on my server ...

    backup

    mail

    logs

    sys

    tmp

    www

     

    any suggestions where the data folder should be ???

     

     

  • Hello amebb,

    Absolute path means you need to provide the path in your server. And you need to create this folder manually. I see you have 5 folders there. Create a new folder named elgg-data. And then use the full  path to it.

    Absolute path doesn't start with http or https. It looks like this /home/some/name/elgg-data

     

    Hope this helps. If you need further help, you can contact me here - https://vpsfix.com/contact/

  • hello, thank you for your prompt reply.

    so my structure should look like this :

    backup
    mail
    logs
    sys
    tmp
    www

    data

     

    but on my server i cannot add another folder but i have requested technical team to add the data folder.

     

    thank you
