Please check the Installation Troubleshooting documentation.

Hello,

I am new and not a big programmer, usually work taking help from all the experts in elgg! Still trying to share what I did :)

First you need to install mode_rewrite ( I could do it with the web interface for my host), please also have a look at

For me then the next steps went smooth!

Good luck.

I had that problem.

It was a corrupt database from a failed install

Delete database and create new one each time

you install or it will be like that.
