I have debian perfect setup. I am trying to install elgg. If I keep the .htacess file in the root dir the install gives me a 500 error. If I take out the file I can get to the install. What is in this file that is giving me trubble and how can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

Is mod_rewrite enabled? Are there any errors in Apache's error log? Which distribution are you using?
elgg install trubble Yes mod_rewrite is installed and enabled. It is elgg-0.9.2. I am trying to install. I see in the docs this. HTML: Your Apache configuration must have AllowOverride set to All for the directory where Elgg is installed. How do I check this? Thanks. There are no errors in apache because I did not try to install without the.htaccess file and it will not bring up the install with it in the root. I am using Apache 2.2 New info...I was looking in the vhost for the site I am trying to setup elgg on and this is what is in there. HTML: <Directory /var/www/web4/web> Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all AddHandler mod_python .py PythonHandler mod_python.publisher PythonDebug On </Directory> Dose this need to be changed? if so please tell me what to change and why so I can understand. thanks
Thanks for the post I am having the same issue, but not sure where the vhost is located. I found the main vhosts file, but not sure where the individual ones are located as you are mentioning in the thread? Thanks, Corey
Trouble installing crontab I'm using "The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 9.04 [ISPConfig 3]" install and i'm installing elgg. But when I want to install the crontab I get the following error: Code: "crontab.example":8: bad minute errors in crontab file, can't install. I must ad to this that i'm not installing the elgg to the root folder "/var/www/www.website.com/web" but in a subdirectory "/var/www/www.website.com/web/elgg" so I also placed "/data/" at "/www/data/". Further I followed the How To. Can anyone help?
