   I see you've tried the standard ways. Problem is not getting the actual error, hard to pinpoint then.
   If you are conformable with editing a WordPress file. Add
   define('WP_DEBUG',true);
   to wp-config.php. You can add it after
   * @package WordPress
   */
   define('WP_DEBUG',true); //goes here

   Make sure there is no //, */ or /* before the define statement.

   Now when you activate you should get an error message.
   If you do it would be very helpfull if you post it here.

   Hi, my email is darkpollo at planetahuevo dot es
   And this is the one i sent you with the solution.
   This worked for me, not sure if this will work for others.

   "Hi Frederick,
   i managed to install it.
   The problem were two, first, if you install it without uploading, just
   from the WP admin site, it does not work (not sure why).
   Also, my wp-config was 444 for seurity reasons, so it needs to be 644
   to activate the plugin."

   So, first, upload it manually using FTP.
   Look the wp-config permissions to make sure it is writable before to install.
