# 500 error when enabling plugins

 * I recently upgraded to WP 3.0.3 and upgraded all my plugins as well (they all
   claim to be 3.0.3 compatible). Whenever I try to activate a plugin, it gives 
   me a 500 error. I’ve always had some minor conflicts with plugins depending on
   the theme I have, but nothing like this.
 * The most important plugins I’m having these errors with are:
    -Akismet -WP-SpamFree-
   Google XML Sitemaps -contact form 7
 * Any ideas?

 * Figured it out, I needed to update things to PHP5, I was running PHP4.
