 * Hello,
 * I’m unable to activate the plugin. When I click activate the site goes to a 500
   Internal Server Error. What should I do? I have tried disabling any other caching/
   security plugins, but still throws this up.
 * What can I do?
 * Thank you for your help.

 * I’m not sure. Can you ask your hosting provider to look at the logs for what 
   is reported there?
