ok that is correct stuff - I'd have used phpMyAdmin to load though (not used Sun's Admin GUI)

Can you see your db via phpMyAdmin ? If can try load file jpg screenshot of phpMyAdmin

This is maddening sickening because I am sure it has to be something simple ;-)  -- we can't see b/c we're not looking at your screen... i got Adobe Conference Trial -- if you're still stuck...

on now;;;

Yeah, that's the prefix. You definitely owe me some help on the documentation now ;)

looks like u r done ? ;-)

Cash, you got it. But, Im not out of the woods yet. It's the refix, so how do I fix it? Nothing seems to happen if I comment out or add the prefix to the settings file. Do I have to change somewhere else, or on the DB side.

And BTW, I am also a part time author so I love messing with Technical Documentation :)

our mssgs all crossed.. "has to be something simple ;-)" whattaday !

@Cash

now start charging him normal hourly rates ;-)

OK, I am officialy stupid. I change the elgg prefix to egg_ and it worked.

Sometimes I get so caught up in questions, i don't think for myself :)

Cash, I will look into the documentation. Also, now that we have this mess cleaned up, I can start creating plug-ins and contributing to the cause. Point me to anywhere I can be of help.

Thank you both!!

I'm not convinced still that this is a clean process though. After all of this my css and half of the icons don't show. If I try again, the css comes back, some icons appear, some do not.

For my particular instance I was hoping for a clean migration, I am loosing hoep though. I will keep messing with it and we'll see what I get.

I've done it before and it was clean. You're not trying to use Elgg 1.5 are you?

Also, re css - Elgg tells the broswer to cache it for ten days so that can cause funky things.
