Hey everybody,
I've been fighting with this tool for almost 2 days now. Every time I search for a plugin and try to install it, it doesn't work. I changed my wp-config, so now the dbcharset is utf8, and the dbcollage is utf8_general_ci just like my DB. Even though, I can't get it to work. Before, it returned me an "array_keys" php error with the file plugin-install.php located in wp-admin. I changed all the permissions to 777, and now the error it's
Ha sido imposible localizar el directorio de plugins de WordPress.
(It has been impossible to locate the plugins WordPress directory)
Instalación fallida
(Failure install)
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Read Managing Plugins and install the plugin the old fashioned way.

any chance one of your currently installed plug-ins is automatic WP updater?

I don't think so, because I only had the ones that come with WP, Akismet and Hello Dolly (which I deleted). None of them activated.
So, how's that this thing doesn't work?
Works for me just fine.
Locate the link for the zip file, copy and paste it into the plugin upload box.

I'd tried that method, I know it works...but the thing's that if WP 2.7 brings this new functionallity, I want to make it work...it's useful and easy to use.
Thanks
Many servers simply cannot support this sort of automated installation. WordPress tries several possible ways, including one that I think is frankly insane (clever, but wacky), but if all of them fail, then there's probably very little you can do about it.
If your host supports PHP5, then try switching to that. That works on some hosts.
The list of hosts known to work with core update (and therefore with plugin update/install) is here: Core Update Host Compatibility

What do you mean by "switching to PHP5"? I think I already got PHP5 installed on my hoster.
Thanks for your answers.
Many hosts have both PHP4 and PHP5 installed, and offer some way to choose which you want to use. They usually default to using PHP4, for maximum compatibility.
On these hosts, doing whatever they tell you to do to switch to PHP5 also switches you to a different server configuration, which sometimes works better than the default configuration of the hosting service.

This is my "server" information:
* Operating System : Linux
* Server : NOYB
* Memory usage : N/A
* MYSQL Version : 5.0.51a-community
* SQL Mode : Not set
* PHP Version : 5.2.0
* PHP Safe Mode : Off
* PHP Allow URL fopen : On
* PHP Memory Limit : N/A
* PHP Max Upload Size : 2M
* PHP Max Post Size : 8M
* PHP Max Script Execute Time : 30s
* PHP Exif support : No
* PHP IPTC support : Yes
* PHP XML support : Yes
Is there any option that I should change to make this work?
Thanks!
No, it's not as simple as telling you that it's some option somewhere. There's several factors at play, any one of which could cause it to fail.
Generally, hosts that use suPHP work best with this sort of thing.

Ok, that's fine. I think I'll resign to this...anyway the old way of uploading things through FTP ain't that bad.
Thanks for your answers.
