 * when I install a new plugin, any plugin and click the activate button it tells
   me that the plugin is activated but it really is not.
    no errors, just no plugins
   or widgets ever get activated they did work with 2.7

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins and then re-activating them one by one until you
   find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems.
