# Cannot Activate Plugin

 * I just updated my WordPress version and a few plugins. Now when I try to ‘activate’
   a plugin I get taken to an error page ‘connection reset’. I thought it was an
   issue with a particular plugin, but actually there are a few plugins that it 
   happens to (not all of them). I tried temporarily renaming my ‘plugins’ file 
   and renaming it back to deactivate all plugins, but I still am unable to activate
   a few of them. Any ideas?

 * I managed to fix it by adjusting the memory limit and max execution time on my
   server.
