It looks like it is downloading the plugin but the installation/update page doesn’t refresh while it’s doing it.

I have just installed a plugin, the progress page was stuck as always, but all I could see in error log was this:
[Wed Mar 23 17:08:54 2011] [error] [client 207.46.204.240] client denied by server configuration: /home/pafell/public_html/wp-admin/
I installed the plugin in 16:20 GMT but I believe that time zone in cPanel is set to GMT+1 as it’s a Polish hosting. Thus, I’m not sure whether this log entry applies to me installing the plugin as it was there before I’ve installed it.

I’ve also looked at Raw Access Log. I’ve pasted it here (expiration time set to 1 day).

Okay, so my hosting is using PHP5. I don’t need to enable it anywhere, I just need that code you gave me to be in .htaccess.

In fact, one of these lines (AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php) was already present in .htaccess file (I should be killed for not noticing that) and that is what caused problems. So I added just that other line (AddType x-mapp-php5 .php) and my Dashboard displays correctly.
However, my problem is still present – I still have to guess how much time WordPress needs to install a plugin because it’s not telling me anything (screen).

I’ve made sure that I upload .htaccess in ascii this time.

I will send them an e-mail today and try to get some clarification on what PHP version are they using and what about PHP5 ??

I will update this topic after I get their response. Many thanks for your help so far! ??

Still the same ??

I’m checking version of PHP right now… Inside cPanel it looks like PHP is 4.4.9 (screen).
However, if I click PHP Info visible on screen below PHP version, it seems that PHP is on 5.2.12 (screen).

Which version is more likely to be correct? Or should I just check with my hosting?

Sorry, should have mentioned it before.

I’m on Mac OS X and I’ve used Terminal’s nano text editor. Tried to upload both in binary and ascii mode but effect was the same (I’m using Terminal’s ftp client).

Didn’t work ?? When I tried to access pafell.pl/wp-admin, all I could see was this messed up page.

Just to be sure: I already had an .htaccess file in my WordPress root folder. Does it matter where in the file do I put this text or can I put it just at the end?

Pardon my lack of knowledge, but where should I add it? :>
