I am trying to install Elgg on my host but i am having some issues completing the installation.
This is where i am trying to instal the files - www.mydomain.com/G/
The issue is that i amnot sure where the Data Directory needs to go?
I have had a look online and there is very little out there that helps me?
Can anyone give me a clue as to what i need to do please?
Thanks

Welcome to Elgg!
The data folder can be placed anywhere, but not in the same directory where Elgg is installed.
For example, we do this:
- where /var/www (in Linux/Apache) or htdocs (in XAMPP/WAMP) is the web server's root folder. Put HTML, PHP, CSS, and other site files there so the server can find and serve them to visitors via HTTP requests. Without files in this folder, the website simply won't load.

So, at the moment i have my installtion like this :-
/www/domainame.co.uk/G/ This is where my files are stored.
The other folders i have are:-
>Backup
>Logs
>mail
>Stats
>sys
>tmp
>www
Where would i place my data folder from the above folder?
Thank you
> data // here's
Don't forget about the permissions

That is what i thought where the Data folder should go. But, for some reason i am not able to create a folder for the data.
I may have to contact my host and get them to create it for me.
I will keep you in the loop as to what happens - Thank you
This is the best solution.
But you can also try this:
go to your >www folder and create 2 folders:
- elgg - Elgg root installation (any name for folder)
- data - Elgg data directory
I have tried that, and i get an error message sayig that the folder does not exist
What did you enter in the data directory's field?
UPD: On the installation form
I entered /DATA
The error i get is Your data directory /www/domain.co.uk/Data does not exist.
Please use the full path to your data directory, e.g.:
Watch a process on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kY_U3USWX0
I have tried using the path to my Data directory which is > /www/DATA
This is not working also. The error i get is this > Your data directory /www/DATA does not exist.
