# 404 error when activating the plugin

 * Confused about this, I decided to download the plugin from the WordPress site
   directly, and put it onto my server via a FTP client software package. The plugin
   now appears in my plugin page, however it is deactivated. When I click the “activate”
   button, I get a strange 404 error from my server. I am not having this problem
   with any other plugin, and have installed a few other plugins since. I’ve also
   tried to download and activate this plugin on separate days but still don’t work,
   so I don’t think this is a temporary issue. Any ideas? I’ve never seen this problem
   before!
 * Thanks,

 * Could you try to download a fresh copy of Jetpack, and then attempt to activate
   the plugin again?
 * You might also want to try to add and activate the plugin via Plugins > Add new
   in your dashboard.
 * Let me know how it goes.
