I have a fresh .651 install which I am linking to Moodle. I have the integration working but there is "no activity" in the moodle block even after posting a blog entry. Clicking on "activity" in elgg also says there is none so it must be a problem in the elgg side rather than an integration problem.

Anyone else getting this and have a fix or suggestions?

Hi there!

we have recently completed the italian translation for elgg in Rosetta, so I tried to use the newly exported .po file with our elgg installation, with no luck. 

Steps I've taken so far:

0. created the directories and run msgfrmt , getting the ellg.mo

1. set the appropriate it_IT option in config.php

2. verified gettext and the php_gettext modules are installed (they are)

3. verified my browser language settings (they are ok, it_it is set as preferred one)

4. verified that various functions in _units/gettext/library.php have correct output (it_IT)

5. tried a quick hack I found on elgg.net about overriding library.php and setting the locale manually

6. cursed a lot and banged head against screen

 

At first I tought it could be a problem with the .po file, but it does compile well. And then I tried to set the option in config.php to nl_NL, but that doesn't work either...

Then I tried with another Debian_based server, same settings, no luck...

Do you have any last resort ideas to share? :D

thanks!

 

p.s.: some versions: (got them from pkginfo)

php4-4.4.4

php4-gettext-4.4.4

mysql 4.0.27 (mysql can't be involved in this)

FreeBSD 5.5

gettext-0.14.5_2  

 MArio

EDIT: I see the .po file is working on elgg.net. So the file was exported correctly...

Recently dipped my toes into the Windows/Apache/MySQL/PHP pool and am starting to sink.

Above seemed to be working OK although, I've run into a couple of difficulties during elgg installation.

When launching elgg, get the following errors at the top of the page, underneath which seems to be front screen of elgg (with login fields etc.).

Can someone, shed any light (to this newbie!)?

Having logged into Elgg, when I click on Aministration, I get this line at the top of the page.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance

When trying to import feed to resources it says "Unable to import feeds".

What the error can be? The latest elgg fresh installation.

According to the install docs, Elgg needs MySQL version 4.1+ to run. We're running MySQL version 3.23.58 on our server, and my server admin just told me that to upgrade MySQL we'll have to upgrade the entire Linux OS on the machine.

 I'd really rather avoid doing this. I know that alot of developers will list the MySQL version they tested on as the requirement; whereas, alot - maybe most - of the scripts that claim MySQL 4 is necessary run just fine on MySQL 3.23.

 My question is: Will Elgg versions 0.651/0.7 run on MySQL 3.23? If not completely, will most of it run? - i.e., it'll run, but with a few little minor functions broken. Any light anyone can share on this would be much appreciated. (I'd hate to have to get a hosting account somewhere to do this when I have this beautiful machine sitting here... :-)

I want to add some users to a Community. I know that they can add themselves, but it would be nice to add them and reduce their initial use overhead and potential for confusion. I don't think that this mechanism needs to be exposed to the end user. But my question is, how can I add a user to a group through the phpMyAdmin? 

Having a blast with Elgg. You have come a long way, baby! Hoping to get some courses in next semester as pilots.

Hi there. I have a couple of questions on setting variables in the configuration file. The problem is that I am not able to import feeds into Resources, and I was told that maybe I need to set up snoopy.

I've just looked into Snoopy's vars. There are couple moments which are not clear:

1. var $temp_dir  = "/tmp";

Is it relative to elgg directory? Do I have to set it up?

2. var $curl_path  = "/usr/local/bin/curl";

Same questions, is it relative to the elgg installation dir? Or the full path?

Can anyone help me clarify these?

I am trying to get an installation of ELGG 0.651 up and running.  I was able to get to the point where the databases are successfully create, and after pressing the continue button I get a blank screen, and that is it.  The view source of the blank pages reveals:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

 I have looked through the archives and found a similar posting from September, but that didn't help.  I get the following in my apache error logs:

<snip> 

 [Tue Oct 17 14:42:48 2006] [error] [client x.x.x.x] PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(http://hostname/_templates/Default_Template/css) [<a href='function.file-get-contents'>function.file-get-contents</a>]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/elgg/html/units/templates/default_template.php on line 15

</snip>

 I even thought that maybe my apache user needed to be the owner of elgg and changed the owner on all files to apache, but it still didn't work.  

I've checked everything I can think of.

- The database is created properly
- I printed the phpinfo page to ensure mod_rewrite was loaded.
- Read through the support blog clear back through Jan 06.
- Read and reread the INSTALL, QUICKINSTALL and README files.

 This is on a Fedora Core 5 box fully patched, with Apache 2.2.2 , MySQL 5.0.22, PHP 5.1.4.

 Elgg is also setup on a virtual host with the following in apache:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName hostname.domain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/elgg/html
    ErrorLog logs/elgg_error_log
    LogLevel warn
    CustomLog logs/elgg_access_log combined
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
    <Directory "/var/www/elgg/html">
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

 Thank you in advance for any help in getting this running. 

I have an installation of Elgg 0.651 running on a webserver behind a firewall and subscribing to RSS feeds within my internal Intranet doesn't seem to be an issue. However when I try to subscribe to a feed that is on the public Internet I receive the following error 'Feed subscription failed: could not get feed. Please check your link or try again later.'

Could this be a proxy issue, where my elgg install can't reach outside my firewall? or something else that I'm missing?

Thanks!
