 * I haven’t been able to activate or update my plug ins. Frist I thought it was
   because I didn’t have the newest version 3.0.1 but I installed that and still
   isn’t working.

 * Also this is the error I get when I try to activate a plug in: This error (HTTP
   500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server
   problem which prevented the webpage from displaying.For more information about

 * When I try to update a plug in this is what I get:

 * Removing the old version of the plugin…
 * Could not remove the old plugin.
