Plugins not activating

  • Hi everybody,

    I have a really confusing problem with my plugins.

    When I upload them, they appear as expected in the Plugins panel. But I can’t activate them.

    When I click activate the page refreshes and says ‘Plugin activated.’ in the yellow box at the top. However the plugin in not activates and still appears in white with ‘Activate’ link.

    I would appreciate any help with this matter.

  • I never heard of that. The only think I can think of is wrong file permissions. You don’t have the plugin folder or any of the plugin files set to not writable by anyone? If that’s not it, I wouldn’t know…

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

    Unfortunately it’s not the permissions, that is the first thing I thought of.

    Does anybody know anything about file groups though? As I notice the ‘group’ for this particular blogs files is ‘psacln’ I have no idea what this means but all of my other blogs have the username as ‘group’.

    Unfortunately I am not able to change from ‘psacln’.

    Anybody??

    Hi

    Can you log in to your server using SSH and change the user:group association?

    ps – it’s not my plugin that’s causing problems is it ?

    It was your plugin that alerted me of the problem but I’m 100% sure it’s not the cause as it’s doing the same with any plugin I try. I can’t even deactivate plugins anymore.

    I have figured that it MUST be because the Group ownership has somehow changes, I can’t change it back with any FTP program so SSH was my next step. I’m not very experienced with it so am doing a little research first.

    So the nightmare continues…

    I figured out the SSH commands but now I can’t seem to connect! I’m using ssh user@host and it then asks me for the password… upon entering the password the connection is ‘closed’.

    Any ideas? Is there something on the server that could stop me being able to SSH? Can I change it? It’s not my server it’s a clients…
