   I have been trying to install several plugins lately, including buddypress and GD Star Rating. I tried installing them through the one click install and they didn't unzip. So then I installed them manually. They show up as available plugins now, but when i go to activate i get the following error:

   Error 500 - Internal server error

   An internal server error has occured!
   Please try again later.

   I use 1and1 for hosting but not sure if this is something on their end, wordpress or the plugin.

   Any help is greatly appreciated. marcricker@gmail.com

   Their end.

   Try modifying your site's .htaccess file and adding this line:
   AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

   Seems that by default 1&1 has you running PHP4. I have an old'ish blog post that discusses this in more detail if necessary.
