Friends widget error - elgg 1.7.1

 Hello,

Unfortunately, and bizarre, there seems to be no search of the discussion group available, so I chose to start a new topic.

I am getting an error message from the default 'Friends' widget that says: "This widget is either broken or has been disabled by the site administrator."  It is not disabled, obviously, so it must be broken.

Below is the site info.  Any ideas as to what the problem might be?


Thank you in advance,

Robert~

 

Site info:

New installation, three users - the initial admin and two more user / admins - running on an Apache 2 server, with PHP5 and MySQL 5.  (I can give explicit versions if you need them, though to prevent possible future exploit attacks I'd prefer to give them privately.)
