 * Hello, I’m trying to install and activate the Woocommerce plugin on my website.
   After installing I click on “Activate”, but when I do this I immediately get 
   a blanco page. At this point I’m also not able to return to the WordPress Dashboard.
   I have to delete the Woocommerce files from my server first, before being able
   to access the WordPress Dashboard again. When I’m back on the dashboard it says:
 * “The plugin woocommerce/woocommerce.php has been deactivated due to an error:
   Plugin file does not exist.”
 * Any ideas on this one? Thanks..
