Intention

My intention is not to install a secure elgg server, i just want to get it up and running quickly so I can test it.

Install necessary packages by Yum

yum install httpd, php, php-mysql, mysql-server

Download Full Elgg packages

wget http://elgg.org/getelgg.php?forward=elgg1.1.zip

How to Install the Ldap plugin for Elgg with Active Directory

By admin, on December 3rd, 2008%

wget http://elgg.org/getplugin.php?forward=ldap_auth.zip

unzip ldap_auth.zip

cd ldap_auth

cp ldap_auth to /var/www/html/mod/

chown apache.apache /var/www/html/mod/ldap_auth

Goto Tool Administration in Elgg and Enable the plugin

If you get – “ldap_auth is a misconfigured plugin.” error then you probably have /var/www/html/mod/ldap_auth/ldap_auth, you should have /var/www/html/mod/ldap_auth, fix this by removing the extra level of directory folders.
