 * Hi,
 * I am fairly new to WordPress and I recently bought some hosting and set up my
   WordPress site using GoDaddy’s WordPress application. Everything seems to be 
   working just fine (super simple process), but when I go to preview a plugin, (
   click on the name of the plugin or “get more info”), this comes up:
 * “Internal Server Error
 * The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to
   complete your request.
    Please contact the server administrator to inform of 
   the time the error occurred and of anything you might have done that may have
   caused the error.
 * More information about this error may be available in the server error log.”
   (
   I can’t figure out how to find the server error log using the GoDaddy plesk backend)
 * I can still install the Plugin and everything _SEEMS_to be working on the back-
   end and the front-end (as far as I can tell). The problem is I don’t want to 
   get started and then find out there is a huge problem and lose all my work. I’d
   rather get it fixed now.
 * Does anyone know what could be wrong?

 * Okay, now I can not install a theme I downloaded from ThemeForest. Other themes
   from the WordPress directory, I can download, but as soon as I try to install
   a zipped package – Internal Server Error. I have no idea if it’s GoDaddy or me.
   I reinstalled WordPress once already.
