Make sure in .htaccess for the file that the rewrite base set to /elgg/.

If however your .htaccess file is the default left over on the server after you create your hosting account here, which can happen with any host, try renaming htaccess_dist to .htaccess and edit it to show the rewrite base to be /elgg/ rather than root "/".

It's also quite possible to be a permissions issue as well. After you get done with the above, clear your browser's cache and refresh to see if it works. If not, follow this page on how to set permissions. http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Unix_Permissions_and_Elgg

Your Elgg installation is located in your root directory from your public_html. This means it is installed in /, not /elgg. Either that or htaccess is rewriting / to /elgg.

When I navigate to your website, I see that the Elgg software cannot make communication with the database. You should have created a MySQL Database, User, and assigned to User to the Database, and then inputted the information when you installed Elgg. Since I think Elgg has already performed the installation progress, code edit /public_html/engine/settings.php with the correct database information:

Hostname: localhost
Username: CPANELUSER_MYSQLUSER (your cPanel username, then an underscore, then your MySQL username)
Database: CPANELUSER_MYSQLDB (your cPanel username, then an underscore, then your MySQL database)
Password: MYSQLPASS (your MySQL password)
