When I do it, I get a blank screen with this URL: [http://mywebsite/wp-admin/plugins.php?action=activate&plugin=pods%2Finit.php&plugin_status=all&paged=1&_wpnonce=2ef4d6380c](http://mywebsite/wp-admin/plugins.php?action=activate&plugin=pods%2Finit.php&plugin_status=all&paged=1&_wpnonce=2ef4d6380c) * After that, my admin area is out: PHP Warning: copy(E:mywebsite/.htaccess) [ [function.copy](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pods-cms-install-problems/function.copy?output_format=md)]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in E:mywebsite\wp-content\plugins\pods\ init.php on line 85 * Any help?

Also, do you have permalinks enabled on your WordPress? It also appears you’re running your site on a Windows-based host which could be one reason why permalinks aren’t setup to run. * For Windows-based WP sites, I always recommend this if no other Rewrite is installed: [http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/](http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/) * Thread Starter [Cristiano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iclapton/) * (@iclapton) * [15 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pods-cms-install-problems/#post-1533917) * Yes, you are right, the problem is with the windows-based host! I´m using it now on a linux-based host and everything is ok!

Just don’t forget that Pods can work on Windows, it just requires URL rewriting capability to be installed. * Thread Starter [Cristiano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iclapton/) * (@iclapton) * [15 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pods-cms-install-problems/#post-1534057) * Hey Sc0tt, Thanks for your help. I underestand it works on windows, but I think its not so easy to configure it… I´m just begginning the project, so it´s easy to choose to use a linux server. * Now I have another problem: I just created my first pod, its ok. When I try to add new content on my pod, I can fill the fields, but it doesn´t work when I click “save changes”… any help? * Thanks! * [Scott Kingsley Clark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sc0ttkclark/) * (@sc0ttkclark) * [15 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pods-cms-install-problems/#post-1534058) * What are the permissions set on your wp-content folder? * Thread Starter [Cristiano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iclapton/) * (@iclapton) * [15 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pods-cms-install-problems/#post-1534059) * 777 * [Scott Kingsley Clark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sc0ttkclark/) * (@sc0ttkclark) * [15 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pods-cms-install-problems/#post-1534060) * Those permissions have been known to cause issues with AJAX.

I can then login and take a look and see if there’s anything else that could be going wrong. * [Scott Kingsley Clark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sc0ttkclark/) * (@sc0ttkclark) * [15 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pods-cms-install-problems/#post-1534069) * Everything is working for me.
