I can’t seem to find the system/cp/cp.utilities.php download. So I should just delete the old file in my FTP and then put the new one right where it was? As far as the plugins, Do I need to place all the plugins with fresh copies? This is very new to me as you guys just installed EE a few days ago. I don’t know why it went bad.
Download a fresh copy of the EE files from the Download Area. Unzip it somewhere on your local computer. FTP to your site and replace your existing ‘system/cp/cp.utilities.php’ file with the fresh one. (That’s the “cp.utilities.php” file in the “cp” directory, which itself is in your “system” directory or whatever that might have been renamed to.)
As for the Plugins… first off, do the above and see if that fixes things. If not, then you can download fresh copies of the Plugins from the EE Plugins site to your local computer. Then FTP them to your server in the ‘system/plugins/’ directory and overwrite the existing ones with the fresh copies.
I downloaded a fresh copy of system/cp/cp.utilities.php. It still didn’t work. I used the plugins from the download to FTP & replace them with the other ones. Still does not work. Then I went to the EE Plugins site and did a search for the 5 plugins that come with the software. I can’t find them.

This is exactly what is shown when I click on Plugin Manager. The second 2 lines (167 & 169) seem to repeat forever.
Check the requirements for the Plugin Manager at the top of the linked page. Specifically, you might want to check with your Host/server admin about the “CURL” support.
This is what is on my FTP server under systems/plugins after I installed all fresh copys of the plugins. Is this what is supposed to be there after a fres install of EE?
> What are the file permissions supposed to be for the ‘system/cp/cp.utilities.php’ directory?
That’s a file. Permissions for files in that directory will typically be 644 or 755. The ‘system/cp/’ directory itself should probably be 755.
> Also the Docs say “The CURL extension must be compiled into PHP on your server.”
That’s something your Host/server admin would need to do; it’s not something you would typically do yourself. If they say that their servers support CURL then it’s likely that PHP already has the library compiled in.
