 * Hi there,
 * I am really excited to try this plugin out as it seems it might exactly meet 
   my needs.
 * However, I got the following error on installtion:
 * ////
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
 * Warning: rename(/home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
   miwosql/miwi,/home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/wordpress/wp-content/miwi)
   [
   function.rename]: Permission denied in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/
   wordpress/wp-content/plugins/miwosql/wordpress.php on line 138
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function mimport() in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/
   Primary/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/miwosql/wordpress.php on line 158
 * ////
 * If I am reading this correctly (and I am not sure I am) it is telling me that
   the issue is one of permissions on the server. I don’t get this error with any
   other plugins, so I am guessing it has something to do with permissions and a
   database rewriting (i.e. editing) function.
 * Again, whether this is correct or not I am not sure and if it is correct I am
   not sure how to fix it.
 * So, in sum, any possible insight as to how to resolve would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * Dear timmelody,
 * That is caused by the strict folder permissions for the following directory:
 * wordpress/wp-content
 * You should fix this using CHMOD and/or through your hosting company.
