add from server plug in won't activate

Hi @drreed3,

That’s the output from when you install the plugin, you then need to activate it through the plugins screen.

Can you see it there? Does it provide an error when you try to activate it?

Thank you for your prompt response.

summary of what follows is: I go to the plugins screen, click on activate, the screen repaints, but it still says “activate”.

details of what I said above…..
I go to what I would call the plug in page (https://____domain____/apc/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin=add-from-server%2Fadd-from-server.php),
I check the box to the left of the Add From Server and then click on activate.
The lower left of my chrome browser says “waiting for my domain”. Then a quick message flashes across that says something about activate plugin, but the plug in page never changes to show “deactivate” so I assume it is not active. I verified it by edit plug ins and it says “(inactive)” at the top of the page.

I’m afraid I’m in over my head here. The mp3s I want to upload range from 6 to more than 12 MB. I can upload entire sermon mp3s via filezilla and they appear in the upload directory, but when I look for them in the media library, they don’t appear like the non sermons I uploaded through WordPress. I guess there must be a size limit. So maybe I should cut the sermon into 2 or 3 pieces and use the browser uploader.

Thanks again,
Sorry to be a bother.

Thanks for the extra information, It does sound like your WordPress or PHP version is out of date.

Upon attempting to activate you should see a message at the top of the plugins screen either saying “Plugin activated” or “Plugin failed to activate because of…” with a error message below it.

Check with your host / server administrator that you have PHP 5.4 or greater installed.
