Have got this all working. Two things needed to be done.
1. Make sure the 'uservalidationbyemail' plugin is turned on by the admin user. Why this isn't on by default in a fresh install of 1.6.1 escapes me a bit.
2. Apply the bugfix in ticket:
http://trac.elgg.org/elgg/ticket/1266
otherwise friend invites don't work.
All looks now. Excellent work with the latest version!
Hello Glenn,
I understand you have migrated from 0.9 to 1.5. I'd like to know how you did it (what tool did you use ?), did you manage to migrate all the database and the files ? Did you have a big database before ? I'm having the same issue and my database counts more than 6000 users with a lot of files and metadata. I've tried a php module that I found in the plugins area but it doesn't deal with the files. I know there is a Ruby tool that's supposed to manage that as well but I just can't make it work.
Thanks for your help.
Xavier
