 * Can anyone please write down a procedure – list of things to do right after uploading
   and installing wordpress. What I exactly want to know is which folders and files
   should have what CHMOD.
 * I have it running nice and smooth but installing a PLUGIN or UPDATING a wordpress
   itself doesn’t seem to work and I can’t find a way to fix it. It must be something
   with permissions I figure.

 * Depending on the server configuration, you may not have to change any file or
   folder permissions – hence there is no definitive procedure list.
 * What errors to you see when you try to install plugins or run upgrades?

 * Hi esmi,
 * First it takes long time when the server is doing something and then I get the
   message below.
 * **OK**
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was 
   unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@…
   and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done
   that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available
   in the server error log.

 * ds24a3,
 * Have you contacted the admin? If so, what did they say?

 * I haven’t. I will maybe tomorrow but somehow I doubt they will be of any help
   maybe I will have to switch to other host
