Can't activate s2Member Framework

I cannot activate the s2member Framework. I keep getting the following error:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Do not access this file directly

I’ve tried deactivating all other plug-ins to test compatibility and it didn’t make a difference.
Also tried using twenty-eleven theme to test theme conflict. No difference.

Any suggestions?

Hello Gary,

Could you please try re-installing s2Member? Just de-install it and install it again.

Also, if that does not fix it, could you please try this:

I did a complete de-install and reinstall. Still had the same problems.

So I ran the s2-server-scanner tool and only got 1 warning and 1 notice:
[WARNING] Missing $_SERVER[‘SERVER_ADDR’]
[NOTICE] WordPress® Memory Limit

In both cases it says that they are NOT required, but recommended.

Now what?

You need to fix them. :)

The warning level error you get is probably the cause for this problem. The notice is only a “it’s better if, but not necessary” kind of error. :)

I’ve done as you instructed. But I’m still getting the same error message when I try to activate the plug-in.

If it makes any difference, my ISP says I am on an IIS server.

Any thoughts?

I’m not sure if that would cause a problem.

Could you please try with a clean installation of WordPress? A newly installed WordPress and try activating s2Member in that website.

Basically a clean install of WordPress + s2Member. :)
