antifmradio I'm having the same problem. I'm also installing v1.5 on a subdomain and it can't connect to the database to even install the tables. My db stays empty. All of my db settings are correct, checked many times in the engine/settings.php file. I can't think what else to do!

I am having the same problem. :(

About path

If you are using Cpanel, the path name will look like /home/name/public_html/folder/

name is your Cpanel user name and folder is your Elgg folder, of course. You can fix this at Admin > Site Administration.
