[TYPO3-UG US] Problem With Plugin Manager

[Eric Lindemann]

Hi, 

I'm trying to install DirectMail. I've used Extension Manager to first
install Plugin Manager (plugin_mgm). When I click on Web->Plugins I get:

////////////////////////////////
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable
to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster at synful.com and inform
them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that
may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an
ErrorDocument to handle the request. 
///////////////////////////////

Any ideas what might cause this?

Thanks, 

Eric

Eric,

My recommendation is to get a new host or better yet a VPS! It's really not
worth the trouble learning TYPO3 on anything less then a VPS. TYPO3 is a
very powerful and complex application and is way easier to manage with full
"root" access... believe me I learned the hard way. Managing a server is not
that scary once you get your feet wet and Google makes it very easy ;)

If you have a high traffic site you're going to save a lot of time and
"money" by paying a little more for full control over your TYPO3
installation... not to mention iron clad security! Find someone to split the
cost and you'll pay a fraction of what your paying now per megabyte.

To pick a good VPS go to http://webhostingtalk.com

I use http://servint.com because they are one of a few companies that didn't
have a horror story behind them at http://webhostingtalk.com. 
There are cheaper VPS solutions then ServInt. Choose carefully.

Greg
