    Thank you for your help

  • OK 

    Go back to http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Duplicate_Installation

    and in the MYSQL CHANGES where say data change for that: /var/www/html/data/httpdocs/

    after that make the upgrade.php and look if inside of data there a new directory httpdocs

    If elgg is already make alone all need to work fine

     

     

     

     

     

  • Done, i have three new folders named httpdocs httpdocsview_paths and httpdocsviews_simplecache .but still
