Anybody has had success installing Elgg 1.0 on LAMPStack? I get a “500 Internal Server Error”. For basic functionality, Elgg requires [http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Installation/Requirements]:

Apache with mod_rewrite
MySQL 5+
PHP 5.2+ (specifically PHP 5.2+ needs to be installed as an Apache module (not in CGI mode or safe mode) with the following libraries: GD (for graphics processing) and JSON (for API functionality)

The error.log says:
Tue Aug 19 23:11:51 2008 [client 127.0.0.1] script ’/home/bodhi/lampst
ack-0.9.4/apache2/htdocs/elgg/start.php’ not found or unable to stat

I’m guessing it’s an issue with mod_rewite. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I tried to install the application, but it failed with the following message

The requested URL /elgg/action/systemsettings/install was not found on this server.

Can you give a detailed explanation on how to install it? I followed the official installation guide located at http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Installation

Cheers

This has something to do with the directory access. Try to read the INSTALL.TXT found on the installation folder. Just rename/copy /htaccess_dist to /.htaccess.

You can check this site for details: Solution to Elgg’s ‘The requested URL /action/systemsettings/install’ error
