Also unable to save private messages.

Try rmoving the active theme plugin from your mod folder. Then clear your cache, that should put you on the default theme. See how it looks then.

One question. How to clear cache?

yes, there should  be a whole mysql section that among other things lists the Client API version (mine is 5.0.67)

I am a bit puzzled why anyone would run an Apache and PHP based app on a Windows host for anything except localhost testing and development. Linux based hosts usually provide much better server environments and are usually cheaper too.

But your choice.

In any case, for Windows I recommend that you install an all-in-one package like XAMPP or WAMP.

Well what do you know!  A good reboot was all it needed :)

But you make a good point Kevin:  I should put Linux on one of my machines just for my PHP projects.  As I whiped this computer, I was literally dreading the amount of time I knew I'd waste getting the trifecta up and running again...  Now all I have to do is get ELGG to work :)

Thanks so much for you help,

@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.

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!

Hi can someone please help me

I have install elgg1.5 and I didn’t miss any files everything is install by using dreamweaver FTP

I have tryed to open the page on the browser www.mydomain.com/elgg1.5

And i get this error

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.


 it didn’t even give me the chance to put my database dateless

Just to check, in both cases did your data directory have write permissions set, and could you upload other files? (For example, could you upload a profile icon?)

yes it did, i checked that several time.

I finally solved the problem by creating the views_simplecache folder and the file view_paths manually

and then it works...

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
