   Hi,

   After spending a day searching and experimenting, I cannot get any plugins to activate. I have removed and reuploaded them (ASCII) and have checked permissions. I am running on FreeBSD 4.4 with Apache/2.0.50 (FreeBSD) mod_perl/1.99_14 Perl/v5.8.4 PHP/4.3.8 as my configuration.

   I cannot even get HelloDolly to work. When you click on the activate function. WP replies that it is activated. But nothing happens. It does not show the option to deactivate and in one plugin, a mysql table is to be created upon activation and that does not occur.

   Is there some setting that I am overlooking or a permission that is incorrect? All other aspects of WP work great.

   Thanks,

   Chris

   Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for you -- I just wanted to say that I have a similar problem, and I'm not sure if our troubles are related.

   I've tried the Post-Levels, ViewLevels, Category Levels, Registered-Only plugins, and none of them work properly. For the first three, the hidden posts won't show for ANYONE, and for Registered-Only, it doesn't restrict anyone. Hello Dolly doesn't appear to work, either.

   I host my blog on LivingDot, which runs:
   Apache version 1.3.33 (Unix)
   MySQL version 4.0.24-standard
   PHP version 4.3.11
   PERL version 5.8.4

   I have WP v1.5.1.3

   Help! I'd love some suggestions.
   Thanks,
   Nicole

   Well, I figured out my problem -- it had to do with how I was listing the WP URI within my cpanel. I have an add-on domain, and it how I had it listed was causing the problem. Everything is working properly now.

   Best luck to you, cshaul.

   Hi Nicole,

   Thanks for the update. Can you give a little more detail on how the URI was incorrect? It may not be my situation, but I would like to check.

   Any other ideas from anyone on why the plugins say they activate but do not really?

   Thanks,

   Chris

   Solved it finally!!!

   Found post http://weblog.burningbird.net/archives/2004/05/26/slash-problem-in-wordpress-12/

   and had to set:

   php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
   php_flag magic_quotes_runtime off

   In my .htaccess file.

   Once that was done, all was well!! ~~~whew!!!~~~
