OK, I've been breaking down the problem described here, and I have a more specific question.
Other than my own login problem, the site seems to be working fine, EXCEPT this error I believe I have caused by deleting a user who was a member of a group. Now I can't load the group page because, I suspect, it is trying to load said now nonexistent user's profile pic.
Is there any way I can look up this file on the database or file system end, and delete it or just give it a different owner?

You must log in to post replies.Deleted a user through Elgg or in the database (which is a very bad thing). Also what version of Elgg?
Yup, I did the very bad thing. The problem was I had like 800 spam users to delete. Live and learn, I guess.
So given that I did it, do you think there's any workaround to fix this particular error?
It only hangs when loading the members thumbnails for a particular group. Pages that don't have the list of members in the sidebar work OK. It's just one user I screwed up, I think, and I know the guid...
You can try Cash's DB Validator plugin: http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/project/438616/developer/costelloc/database-validator
Fantastic!!! Cash is like my elgg guardian angel.
But now I run up against my other problem, which is that I can't log into my admin user to enable/use plugins (I get a black page with just background color). Is there a way to make another user an admin on the back end (in hopes that I've just broken the account and not the entire administration)?
Oh, and to answer the other question: I'm running elgg 1.6.3.
SOLVED.
I determined by looking at the source code that my login/admin problems were caused by another plugin. I removed that and was able to use Cash's DB Validator plugin to repair the database problems I'd created. It worked like a charm!
I'm now going to install another plugin to block spammers from creating accounts.
Thank you both so much for your help.
