Hi,
I have just installed elgg 1.7.8. The installation seems to be successful, however, at system settings page, when I click "Save" button, I got an error page on my hosting service. I have made sure to fill out all necessary fields.
Please help.
Thanks.

You must log in to post replies.Look at the section on 404 errors when saving settings: http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Install_Troubleshooting
Thanks for the response.
i have made sure
mod_rewrite works, and have replaced .htaccess with renamed htaccess_dist, and I am not installing in a subdirectory. But I still get a 404 error.
The only thing I haven't checked in the list is httpd.conf file settings. Because I don't know where it is. Maybe the hosting service doesn't allow access to it? But I have installed elgg 1.7.2 on this service before, I made it work somehow. Not sure I ever checked httpd.conf file.
Any suggestions?
@ben What hosting are you using? Try using the auto installer that comes with your hosting to install elgg.

@rjcalifornia The service I'm using is called 000webhost. They offer free hosting (I'm not trying to advertise them). I'm not familiar with hosting business. I don't think they have the auto installer. Could you recommend someone who has it?
Thanks.
@ben I used that hosting before, Elgg doesn't work on free accounts. Contact their tech support, I think they have an auto installer.
