1. Installing a plugin yields:
An Unexpected HTTP Error occured during the API request.
(seems occured is misspelled as well; occurred {chuckle})
2. Seems WP automatic updater not installed via Fantastico..
No plugins installed, at all…
3. Also, when installing to a non-root dir, be careful to eliminate the directory prompt of “\”- I deleted all & re-installed after many bugs popped forth from an entry of “\blog” created
http://mysite.com//blog/ (note the double // before blog)
4. This host is using:VistaPanel Version 2.2.0 Beta
Operating system Linux
Apache version 2.2.10 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.6
MySQL version 5.0.51
The panel prevents from creating another db user acct
MySQL external access – No

7. Perhaps I’m missing a nuance of wording here?
