Elgg OSI Model

Elgg is nothing like an egg so you do not remove the "l" but which is an open source platform, is listed as a network service, because you can create in this community, forum, social network, platform sharing, among other things.

something in short, is an open source Facebok in which everything we can to get their hands, to manipulate at will.

Elgg is very simple to use, simply, to have installed any linux distribution, apache, mysql and php (in a previous post had mentioned about these and installation).

The good thing is that it is supported by a community, which is willing to help or guide you if you have any doubt or something for this, too There are many tutorials, and best of all, if you want to add things like a chat or a place where aparesca photos or something, just install plugins and ready, these will, of course, you also can modify the to give a more personal touch.

elgg

I unzipped and put it in the direction of / var / www / and give it a name, I recommend that you put elgg so they can identify.
need to create a MySql database

for that we go to the terminal and create:

must also create a folder given in / var / www / data
After this we have to set permissions for folders in / var / www / so we opened the terminal and type the following: sudo chmod
777/var/www/elgg 777/var/www/elgg sudo chmod 777 * chmod give permissions to the folders

From there we will see a file that says crontab.txt
This rename it with the ending we want, and run in the terminal
/ directory of the folder / $ crontab crontab.ab Hence

open your browser and type localhost / elgg / install.php . Hence
ask you some facts that are necessary to start, (eye must take into account that these data are of mysql, so you must provide this information so that you create an account.
here I will ask other information so the full and ready.
This is what you should appear at the end of it, now only apregarle missing some plugins and modify it to do more to taste ours.
