Hi,
The issues was that ModSecurity was turned on. ModSecurity can be temporary disabled while activating the plugin. When plugin is activated ModSecurity can be turned back on.

Thanks I will do.
Do you know what might casue the issue on the server or are there any settings in particular that might culprit.

Hi,
I have been able to install this plugin on other shared hosts but not the current one.

I can for example install and activate the plugin on my localhost running WAMP and upload the site to the shared server – and the plugin will work on the shared server.

For some reason I can not activate the plugin when it has been installed on the site on the shared server.

Hi,
I have re-created my htaccess file
This is what it is in it

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Thanks
JH

Thanks for getting back to me.
I have tried PHP version 7.0 & 5.6.
I have tried both downloading the plugin and aslo installed it from the Admin section. Neither way allows me to activate the plugin.

I just tried installing and activating Yoast and it worked fine.

Hi,

I have created a new install of WordPress and done no changes to it. Downloading and installing the plugin All In One WP Security & Firewall – when activating the plugin I get a 404 error. I have no problem activating under plugins.
I am on a shared host. The htaccess is as per default.
I am really puzzled as I have used the plugin on other site in a shared hosting solution.

Should mention I currently run PHP 7.1.
Have tried to activate the plugin with other PHP version but the same issue ie 404 error when activating

This is the URL when activating wp-admin/plugins.php?_wpnonce=8b70e8ef16&action=activate&plugin=all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall/wp-security.php

Any suggestions on where to start looking for the issue.
Could it be the hosting envirment? If that is the case what could be the issue?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you
JH
