 * I am running several virtual servers all with wordpress installed in them. When
   I try to update Ultimate TinyMCE I get an Internal server error 500. If I rerun
   the update several times in a row the update eventually installs and TinyMCE 
   updates correctly. The error I get when I am trying to update is:
 * error 500: Internal Server Error
 * One of my virtual servers needs me to install the wp online store plugin but 
   when I tried to install it from wp-admin/plugin-install.php I got the same internal
   server error. So, I used FTP to upload the plugin to the virtual server. However,
   when I try to activate the plugin I get Internal server error 500 and I am not
   able to activate the plugin. I have deactivated all other plugins but that does
   not help.
 * Does any one have any idea what would cause the error or how to fix it?
 * Here are the lines from the apache error log:
 * [Wed Dec 05 18:51:13 2012] [warn] [client 192.168.0.1] mod_fcgid: read data timeout
   in 31 seconds, referer: [http://xxx.com/wp-admin/plugins.php](http://xxx.com/wp-admin/plugins.php)
   [
   Wed Dec 05 18:51:13 2012] [error] [client 192.168.0.1] Premature end of script
   headers: plugins.php, referer: [http://xxx.com/wp-admin/plugins.php](http://xxx.com/wp-admin/plugins.php)
 * thanks

 * I found the answer to the problem. I had to increase the Maximum PHP script run
   time in my servers control panel.
