   I just tried to install a new plugin (wp-invoice) and when I try to activate it, I get the following error message. Additonally if I try to install the plugin from c-panel, the plugin does not show up in the wp admin plugin section. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

   I haven't had problems with any other plugins and have tried installing the plugin on a blank WP install with no other plugins or themes running in case there was an issue there.

   1.
         Upload the full WP-Invoice directory into your wp-content/plugins directory
      2.
         Create a page or post you plan to use to display your web invoices, (i.e. “http://yourblog.com/WebInvoice”).
      3.
         Activate the plugin at the plugin administration page
      4.
         Open the main Web Invoice page, follow the setup steps.
      5.
         If you need to tweak the plugin further (i.e. turn off built-in CSS), visit the Settings page.

   did you do it in that order?

   Thank you samboll,

   I have tried it in that order. If I don't activate the plugin right after it is installed then it doesn't show up in the installed plugins section in wp-admin.

   I just ran into a similar problem after installing the Feedburner Feedsmith plugin into my WordPress 2.7.1 installation at musicgoondu.com. After installation, I got the following error at the top of every page including WP Admin:

   Warning: include_once(/home/themuser/public_html/musicgoondu/wp-content/plugins/__MACOSX/) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: Success in /home/themuser/public_html/musicgoondu/wp-settings.php on line 473

   Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/themuser/public_html/musicgoondu/wp-content/plugins/__MACOSX/' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/themuser/public_html/musicgoondu/wp-settings.php on line 473

   I deactivated the plugin, with no improvement, so I deleted it. Then I proceeded to deactivate all my other active plugins. Still no luck. Any suggestions would much appreciated.

   Thanks,
   Chris

   I got the same error trying to install two different plugins, phpMyAdmin and BackupWordPress. I even tried uploading the unzipped files with an FTP client to my plugins folder and it wouldn't show up in the Inactive Plugins. But for some reason, downloading the zipped file directly to the plugins directory and then unzipping it worked - it shows up as an Inactive Plugin and then clicking on Activate works fine.

   Here's a step-by-step for phpMyAdmin (I would guess it should work for other WP plugins):
   Telnet/SSH to your server.
   Change to the WP plugins directory. In my case:
   cd /var/www/blog/wp-content/plugins
   Download the plugin zip file. In this case:
   wget http://wordpress.designpraxis.at/download/wp-phpmyadmin.zip
   Unzip the zip file:
   unzip wp-phpmyadmin.zip
   If you don't have unzip, install it via:
   sudo apt-get install unzip
   Then run 'unzip wp-phpmyadmin.zip' again.

   At this point, the plugin showed up under Inactive Plugins in the WP Admin page. Click Activate next to it and it should work.
