Body: <p>I am trying to install civiCRM for my wordpress website. I followed the instructions multiple times on how to install civicrm, but it ends in the same way. When I activate civicrm in the plugin menu on wordpress and hit the green install button, I get redirected to a page not found error (HTTP 500). I have tried older versions and same thing. I am currently hosting on Ionos if that matters.</p>
  <p>Thank you for the help!</p>
