I have elgg 0.651 installed with just about everything working but the search tool on the home page.

When I click on Search off the homepage, I get a 404 File Not Found error message. A closer look at the url shows the install is looking for Elgg to be in the www root. As in

example.com/search/all.php?tag=&=all&=search 

When it should be looking in the Elgg subdirectory as in

www.example.com/elgg/search/all.php?tag=&=all&=search 

If you manually add elgg to the url as above, it works.

Also, if you get to a page where you no longer see the 'all' drop down search box, it works fine. 

Any help would be much appreciated,

Martin 

UPDATE -- Narrowed down the problem. It's with the new default theme that includes the 'All' box below the search box. The search works just fine in all the other themes, without the All box. Anyone know which php file I could edit to change that? MPB

The other glitch with my 0651 install is that icons and files are not available on the new site. 

Discovered that they weren't ftping over from the old site, so I went in as root, tarred them and brought them over to the new server. So I can see them there when I ftp or telnet in. However, elgg 0.651 is not linking to either the icons in _icons/data or the files in _files/data.

How do I fix that?

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm eager to test drive elgg, but am running into install problems. I keep getting this error:

The PHP setting 'register_globals', which is a huge security risk, is turned on. There should be a line in the .htaccess file as follows: php_flag register_globals off If the line is present but has a # at the start, remove the # character
 

For whatever reason, I can't fix the php globals thingie via my .htaccess (it just gives me 500 errors).

Spoke to my host, and the only solution is for me to add a php.ini file to all directories that call scripts. According to my host, the php.ini file should have this in it:

register_globals = off
post_max_size = 20M
memory_limit = 80M
upload_max_filesize = 20M
max_execution_time = 120
expose_php=off

Now, there are a whole lot of directories in elgg. Does anybody know where I could find a list of the directories that call scripts? Or failing that, is there a simple way for me to look at the contents of a directory and tell if it's a script-caller or not? 

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello!

I have recently upgraded elgg from 0.4 to 0.65
Everything seemed to run smoothly; I have edited new configuration file, created everything specified in the INSTALL file

After that I have visited the elgg index page and everything SQL related seemed to be executed succesfully.

Logging in with news I have discovered that in user management tab that there are no users except the default one: news :-O

I can see in the elgg's db tables that the data exists there (in files, users tables) but new version seems to use another table for user management: elggusers

How can I fix up this upgrade so users can use the site again?

Thanks,
Calin

Similar-ish to a problem posted before - with a fresh install of 0.651, I get nothing.  Just a blank page.  The logs tell me:

   PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function gettext() in /foo/bar/elgg/lib/userlib.php on line 24

 I had a look at the offending code, and it seems to be a perfectly normal gettext call.  I know that gettext is working on my apache installation, because I have two other concurrent installations of elgg running on other virtualhosts (elgg 0.61 and 0.65) without a hitch.

 I tried a second clean installation,thinking that I may have made a mistake in my customization.  I left all but the required fields (url, sql, datadir) of config.php at the default... but I still get the same error!  I've tried setting  $CFG->defaultlocale = 'en_US'; to no avail. Ideas?
