BTW, my comment rating plugin threw out this message in the control settings, does that give any information as to my issues?

Warning: gzinflate() [function.gzinflate]: data error in /homepages/*/***/htdocs/*****/wordpress/wp-includes/http.php on line 1787

Didn’t work either, so frustrating, but thanks for all the ideas!

Could it be something with the .htaccess file? Would that cause some plugins to work and not others?

My website domain takes me to the wordpress folder, which is within another folder. So instead of the domain name’s physical path point to “/wordpress” it points to “/foldername/wordpress”

Yeah no go.

As for the 500, that’s what I was afraid of… talk about opening a whole can of worms. Are there any common causes for a 500 in this case?

1. It is 766. ?? At least one thing is right!
2. Manual uploads are no better, wordpress recognizes it in the plugin menu, but when i click to activate it I get a 500 error. If i attempt to look at it in the editor, there is nothing there.

It does absolutely nothing. I appreciate any of your ideas.
