    I think an option to add either a photo or video to any post on the wire would make elgg to the best social media engine, i know this aint FB but i thikn it's the only thing missing in this awesome engine. It would also be great if there...
    • I have provided them, and when i try to use the twitter login it saids: "

      Whoa there!

      There is no request token for this page. That's the special key we need from applications asking to use your Twitter account. Please go back to the site or application that sent you here and try again; it was probably just a mistake.

      "

      And i have entered the consumer key and secret.

    • Just like it said, you probably made a mistake. Try again :)

    PATH doesn't work either, not outside the public_html, and not in it. I'm now gonna delete the db, source files and try over. :S view reply
  • Jolly Home added a new discussion topic Problems creating a "Data Directory". in the group Elgg Technical Support
    Created it outside the /www/ or /public_html/ section, but still are getting an error. We don't think "http://xxxxxxxxx.nl:2222/CMD_FILE_MANAGER/elgg_uploads" is an absolute path for your data directory. Where should the directory be...
    • You need to enter the PATH on the server to the data directory and NOT an url.

    • PATH doesn't work either, not outside the public_html, and not in it. I'm now gonna delete the db, source files and try over. :S

    • It must be the full path (absolute path) to the data directory from the root directory on the server to the data directory. A relative path won't work. Also try it with an "/" at the end of the path.

      The data directory must have suitable read/write/acess permissions and depending on what permissions are set it might also be important for the directory to have a specific owner and group for the webserver to be able to access it and read/write data. If the permissions are wrong (e.g. no read or access permission) it will look to the webserver that the data directory does not even exist. If in doubt, set the permissions "777" for the data directory. In this case the owner and group shouldn't be relevant.

      You need to create the data directory outside public_html in any case. Otherwise it's a high security risk - even more so if the access permissions are 777.

      If the data directory still doesn't work regardless of the permssions set and you think the path you entered should be correct, it might be that the php environment and or the webserver on your server is configured to use the open_basedir directive. By the open_basedir directive a list of directories are defined that are the only directories a php script is allowed to open files from. You might want to ask the support of your webhoster if open_basedir is used on their servers.
