    Hi

    I have added the wordpress plugins folder as well as "web" (root web folder) to Open_BaseDir list of directories, for a domain.

    Now I am trying to install a plugin using Wordpress admin->plugins->upload- however immediately after upload I am getting "Error 500- Internal Server Error" message

    What am I doing wrong here?

    Regards,
    Arvind.

    Ensure that you use as php mode "php-fcgi" and that suexec is enabled for the website. Then check that all files and folders in the web directory of the site belong to the web[id] user and client[id] group of this website.

    i have done this and a bunch more and nothing seems to help. am running ubuntu ispconfig apache and the moment you modify the database, even activating preloaded plugins, it fails to 500 erro with the yellow header

    I run several wordpess blogs on a ISPConfig server that is installed as descrbed in the perfect server setup, all work lawlessly. You should take a look at the error.log of the website to find the reason for the problem on your server.

    I'm having the same issuer. Error 500 when uploading plugin in WordPress - strangely, not all plugins are affected.
    Where to find error log in ISPconfig?

    You find the error.log of the website in the log directory of the website.
