Description

When doing a standard install I get this error:

Not Found
The requested URL /elgg_91/elgg_91/ was not found on this server.

This discussion has all the gory details including error messages etc. It turns out that using a config.php from a version 0.81 install has the system operating properly. More gory details on my Tiddlywiki here

It turns out that this was my fault. I did not set permissions for the data directory (I did not give it world:write access -- when I did chmod 777 data the whole install proceeded correctly). I don't like having directories under the web root with world:write access and I know that my sysadmin will forbid this. At what point can I switch off world:write for the data directory -- the installation guide is not clear about this. I'm guessing that once the config.php is setup correctly then I can do a chmod 770.
