I’m also having a problem with activaing BuddyPress. I’ve just done a fresh install of WordPress 3.1.
I tried the automatic install from within WordPress and it just sits at the following message and doesn’t go any further. I’ve let it site for half an hour:
Installing Plugin: BuddyPress 1.2.8
Downloading install package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.1.2.8.zip…
I’ve also tried to install manually. I’ve uploaded the “buddypress” folder to the “wp-content/plugins” folder and when I go into WordPress Plugins and try to activate, I receive the following message:
Error 500 – Internal server error
An internal server error has occured!
Please try again later.
I’m using 1and1 hosting…. any suggestions?
Thanks,
yes buddypress 1.2.8 I looked at the particular line it was talkin about in the error and here is the whole function where the error started….
if ( (int)$this->total_member_count && (int)$this->pag_num ) {
$this->pag_links = paginate_links( array(
‘base’ => add_query_arg( ‘upage’, ‘%#%’ ),
‘format’ => ”,
‘total’ => ceil( (int)$this->total_member_count / (int)$this->pag_num ),
‘current’ => (int)$this->pag_page,
‘prev_text’ => ‘←’,
‘next_text’ => ‘→’,
‘mid_size’ => 1
) );
maybe it has something to do with the membor count starting out as zero or no members atall or something Im lost, should I turn WP_ERROR off and that might bypass this?
bhain3s – Your error sounds like BuddyPress was partially uploaded and activated. If possible, try a manual upload to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory and reactivate BP:

@mercime Thank you!!! It was my .htaccess file.
I had to add the following line to the end of my .htaccess file. This tells the webserver to user PHP5 instead of PHP4 (for anyone that doesn’t know). I had to do this with my other 1and1 hosted sites, including my Joomla sites.
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
@JunVette Glad you resolved it and thanks for sharing your solution.
