 * I have uplaoded per instructions, set the permissions on the log file to 777.
   When I try to activate in WP I get this error message:
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sup_add_options_page() (previously declared in /
   var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/smart-update-pinger.php:15) in /var/
   www/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/ultimate-plugins-smart-update-pinger/ultimate-
   plugins-smart-update-pinger.php on line 21

 * I guess that WordPress handes all of this anyway, especially with All-in-one 
   SEO? So I got rid of the plugin.

 * You need to remove smart-update-pinger.php from your plugins directory. The issue
   here is that you are activating 2 similar plugins that have similar variable 
   declarations (the ultimate-plugins-smart-update-pinger.php is the newer version
   of the Smart Update Pinger).
 * PS. WordPress does not handle pinging correctly, although I have not checked 
   the WP2.5+ versions. Another issue is that it does not provide a nice log etc.

 * I don’t see that All-in-one SEO has anything to do with pinging, but Ultimate-
   plugins-smart-update-pinger does. I’ve already installed All-in-one SEO and was
   planning to also install Ultimate-plugins-smart-update-pinger to improve/correct
   the WP pinging. Does this thread mean I can’t have both installed?
