when I try to install a built in plugin it stucks and does nothing, on a refresh it gives an error. I did my installation with Softaculous.
This is from php error log

…suggests you need to use the mysqli driver instead of the mysql one. But I suspect you’ve already figured that out and this is just an old message. Is there anything in the log with a date/timestamp from around the time you tried to install the plugin?

If your plugin settings won’t stick when you try to change them, then it’s possible that the file permissions in your cache directory aren’t correct. Double-check them – there’s a FAQ entry in this forum about permissions. If you want plugins to be installable via the plugin gallery, you’ll similarly need to check that OJS has enough permissions to add files to subdirectories of plugins.
Also check that your system has the tar setting properly configured in the [cli] section of config.inc.php.

It looks like your web server is returning a 500 error for that request. There should definitely be something logged in your PHP error log with more information – look for something containing the word “Error” in it. There may be lots of warnings that are OK to ignore, so you might need to look around the error log a little.
