 * I tried activating Exec-PHP in WP 2.5.1, and got this error message:
 * “Warning: main(/mnt/web1/10/51/5389751/htdocs/red07/wp-content/plugins/exec-php/
   includes/manager.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or

   exec-php.php on line 11

   plugins/exec-php/exec-php.php on line 11″
 * Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks

 * Thanks for posting your error message. Firstly, it tells you that manager.php
   is missing.
 * However, (of more concern) is the fact that your folder name for the plugin is
   is **Exec Php**, when it should be something like **exec-php**, so are you sure
   it has been installed properly?
 * [This is a really helpful video tutorial](http://village-idiot.org/plugin-howto)
   about installing plugins by whooami.
 * The developer of Exec-PHP is also [extremely detailed](http://bluesome.net/post/2005/08/18/50/)
   with his installation and usage information as well.

 * The name of the folder where Exec-PHP resides in is not hardcoded and can be 
   changed to any arbitrary name. Nevertheless I am not sure how it works if the
   folder name contains spaces. That’s probably the error here.

 * Thanks all for your help. I now have it working
 * I renamed the folder in the plugin section
