I've managed to fix it, the upgrade process hadn't created the new DB tables.

So I use the command below to copy across the missing ones : elgggeocode_cache, elggprivate_settings, elggriver - I didnt bother copying over 'elggsystem_log_1236692081', as it was empty, now my upgraded DB has 22 tables, and the install works a treat..!

CREATE TABLE {upgraded DB name}.elgggeocode_cache SELECT * FROM {fresh elgg v1.5rc2 DB}.elgggeocode_cache;

Replace { and what is inside it with the name of your database.

Okay these are missing fields to install, correct?

Elgg database _________________

Database hostname (usually 'localhost') _______________

Database table prefix (usually 'elgg') _________________

Here is the jive I get inside Elgg 1.2 when I installed it from GoDaddy (soft install) I hoped to

use that info to fill in the missign fields whereby UPGRADING. And it seemed to work but it was buggy as hell and the version still said 1.2, so it seemed like a sort of crossgrade or something, hybrid 1.2-1.5 version.

I want to therefor only hard install 1.5 can I use the old Godaddy info below to still connect the database?

The full path to your site root on your disk, followed by a trailing slash:

/home/content/t/a/h/tahoebilly09/html/

The full path to the directory where uploaded files will be stored, followed by a trailing slash

/home/content/t/a/h/tahoebilly09/html/data/

Thank you anyone who might help with this, I really need to see that new river to stay pumped on th ethis project.

Rats, none of my plugins work!! they all display the following

Any ideas ?

This is even after delting all everything in the 'mod' and copying only the standard mods from a v1.5rc2 fresh install.

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:

http://mysite.com/data

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.

Just hit the /upgrade.php, that resets the cache.

I just got 1.5 up on GoDaddy.com by installing the the GoDaddy ready 1.2 first, which sets up the dbase etc, then I manually upgraded the 1.5r1 files. It works but I the profile view never wants to load the plugs just keep spinning and the "report" window doesn't go away when you click on it.

Any help?

Curiously, it previewed correctly but hasn't appeared when 'saved'.

I'll put a ticket into trac.

Well thank you very much for your answers... since i´m still new to elgg... i hope it´s ok to ask what exactly the TINYMCE is...

@Gleb L: You wrote "You can add picutres to any text you write (message, blog, forum..." but you did not write how ;)

never mind... try google first ;)

thanks for your answers!

hi. shouvik, for your clear picture...i must tell that, i have developed the site on my local machine and now i am migrating this to a new server through FTP. If you know successful steps then please write to me.

Do this change htaccess_dist to .htaccess and your problem is solved.The .htaccess was lost during transfer.I faced this problem some time back and it solved it.

 Follow as anirup said. By renamimg htaccess_dist to .htaccess, you can make sure that, your htaccess is up to date.

OK, I am in!! Now that I have a fresh working elgg system, the real work begins.

The whole purpose of this excersize was to move my elgg system from a shared hosting platform to a dedicated. Now that I have the server working, I need to migrate. I did all of the suggested setps, but it's almost like the db is not synched. Here is what I did:

• Create new elgg site.
• Restore db from other site with same name
• db admin name is same
• updated the elgg config
• copied data

Now when I log in, still only the new site. Shouldn't my db have the old user info, etc?

I think I will start a new thread as this case has morphed. Thank you Kevin and Ben for your guidance!

Hello, th fil is here : engine/lib/languages.php

Note that this problem has been fixed in 1.5 RC2 (available from the downloads page).

Much better to install that rather than making this single patch as RC2 fixes a number of issues.

Ok, works fine with rc2
