You must log in to post replies.Make sure you put the right username and pass for the database. Also, check the path for connecting to the database

I installed on host gator, had to do the information manually in settings.php and had to remove both {{ and }} between the " "
Odd. Check your database for errors. Also, you may wanna consider using the latest version of elgg.

I found that if you del evrything after the initial DB, if you are not splitting your read/writes utill URL it works fine.
<?php
/**
* Elgg settings
*
* Elgg manages most of its configuration from the admin panel. However, we need you to
* include your database settings below.
*
* @todo Turn this into something we handle more automatically.
*/
global $CONFIG;
if (!isset($CONFIG)) {
$CONFIG = new stdClass;
}
/*
* Standard configuration
*
* You will use the same database connection for reads and writes.
* This is the easiest configuration, and will suit 99.99% of setups. However, if you're
* running a really popular site, you'll probably want to spread out your database connections
* and implement database replication. That's beyond the scope of this configuration file
* to explain, but if you know you need it, skip past this section.
*/
// Database username
$CONFIG->dbuser = '';
// Database password
$CONFIG->dbpass = '';
// Database name
$CONFIG->dbname = '';
// Database server
// (For most configurations, you can leave this as 'localhost')
$CONFIG->dbhost = '';
// Database table prefix
// If you're sharing a database with other applications, you will want to use this
// to differentiate Elgg's tables.
$CONFIG->dbprefix = '';
// URL
$CONFIG->url = "";
this is my settings.php and it works fine.
There's nothing wrong with your database connection params - you must be using some theme or customized code that is breaking the logical path(s) for fetchng tha engine/start.php that is causing the widgets to fail because they cannot get the correct DB credentials and so "couldn't connect to the database... " Try disabling all themes and non-elgg plugins.
I'll reinstall it ... I have a question which type of Elgg is the best, I had installed the elgg-1.7.6 and has many errors. Also, in some cases lack token tells me not why.
And where is stored the list of members is that I have and many people in the forum. I WISH SAVE IT
Thanks a greeting.
