I am having problems setting up Elgg on Godaddy.com to my vitural hosting site, below is the information I am trying to submit.

Now that the Elgg database has been successfully installed, you need to enter a couple of pieces of information to get your site fully up and running. We've tried to guess where we could, but you should check these details.

The name of your site (eg "My social networking site"):
My Answer: The Dixon Corporation


Short description of your site (optional)
My Answer: One of the world’s leading companies in themed entertainment design, technology and production.


Site email address (used when sending system emails)
My Answer: dixoncorp@comcast.net


The site URL, followed by a trailing slash:
My Answer: http://www.thedixoncorporation.com/


The full path to your site root on your disk, followed by a trailing slash:
My Answer: http://www.thedixoncorporation.com/D:/Hosting/6350796/html/


The full path to the directory where uploaded files will be stored, followed by a trailing slash:
My Answer: http://www.thedixoncorporation.com/D:/Hosting/6350796/html/


Enter the view which will be used as the default for your site or leave this blank for the default view (if in doubt, leave as default):
My Answer: default


The default language for your site:
My Answer: English


The default access permissions:
My Answer: Logged in users


Debug mode provides extra information which can be used to diagnose faults. However, it can slow your system down so should only be used if you are having problems:
My Answer: Turn off debug mode


Enable this to have user logins performed over HTTPS. You will need to have https enabled on your server for this to work.
Enable HTTPS logins
My Answer: Not Enabled


The RESTful API is a flexible and extensible interface that enables applications to use certain Elgg features remotely.
Enable the RESTful API
My Answer: Enabled



Note when I try to save the information, I receive this error massage:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

What am I doing wrong?

The version of Elgg is 1.7.1

  • Try deleting the following sections from the .htaccess file in Elgg's root directory:

    <IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
        # ugly ugly hack to detect missing mod_rewrite
        # RedirectMatch must be to an absolute destination, so forces 500 error...
        ErrorDocument 500 "Elgg error: Apache does not have mod_rewrite loaded. Please check your Apache setup."
        RedirectMatch 302 .* index.php
    </IfModule>

    # php 4, apache 1.x
    <IfModule mod_php4.c>
        ErrorDocument 500 "Elgg error: Elgg does not support PHP 4."
        RedirectMatch 302 .* index.php
    </IfModule>

    # php 4, apache 2
    <IfModule sapi_apache2.c>
        ErrorDocument 500 "Elgg error: Elgg does not support PHP 4."
        RedirectMatch 302 .* index.php
    </IfModule>
