Post for anyone else that has had this problem.... check your path for your "data" folder... make sure it is the server path and not a URL - I was trying to point to the data folder using:
but I should have been using:
user/public_html/data
to point to the folder... cheers!
I might be having the same issue with setup on GoDaddy.com are you talking about the
Elgg database pointer?
The above is the path that I needed to use so that when I installed elgg i wouldn't get the message "data folder is not writable".
I made the mistake of trying to use a url instead of the local path to the data folder.

@sean Could I just ask, what are you running on? Apache version / OS & distro etc?
Scratch that:
The root cause for this error is that mod_headers is not installed, and Apache rather unhelpfully dies when it encounters a definition it doesn't understand.
Solution, either comment out that line or better yet enable mod_headers.
htaccess_dist in latest SVN ifmodules this line out.
Oh dafty me.
For info, i twas Ubuntu /AMP - latest of AMP.
I will enable mod_deaders forthwith as it'll no doubt come in handy.
