Look at the amount of people that can't get the installation to run smoothly. Do a search. I am not the only one.

Other people are able to get it working with the help of this community only. There might be challenges but its not like that it cannot be solved.

Arrogance is ugly and actually i saw the same arrogance last time I addressed the issue. Great that the coding geeks can make things work, but for the normal people - it's useless and a waste of time to invest time in a faulty installation process.

 People are happy to help here. That's how opensource work. I am running 3 website on elgg and all of them are working perfectly fine. It's not just geek, normal people are also using it.

Try UNA from Boonex. Smooth and easy, followed by an explosive system. You'll see what I mean.

I did tried lots of CMS myself and finally settled on elgg because all those CMS were not as per my requirement as there were lot of functionality missing. Elgg has the functionality that allow someone to easily develop new features. Thats the main thing that attracted me to use elgg.

Infact I recently participated in a hackathon where I used Elgg 3.0 RC2 as a framework and tried to integrate block chain on it, and it went really well. Show me other CMS that gives you such freedom.

Again, do share something like error logs that will help other to help you.

Oh gosh! Help with an installation? Really?

Good for you that Elgg works. But the focus here is all the ones that can't.

Nah - This is second time. I'm done with Elgg...

All the best!
