After some hours of searching, it seems like the mysterious "500
internal server error" may be caused by a PHP bug , not a MW database
bug as I previously assumed.
Seems like the error description is the same as
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk#MediaWiki_was_working_fi…
Seems like PHP5 crashes if the .htaccess files contains php.ini
setting , in my case, I had kept the following lines from my previous
PHP4/MW15 installation, without knowing that it may cause MW to become
unstable a few weeks later:
# close the php security hole...
# not actually needed but probably a good idea anyway
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_flag register_globals 0
</IfModule>

Well, you should try the fix at item #153 at:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk
....before leaving HostMonster for good. I ended up going to
SiteGround.com,
which claim to be specialists at hosting MediaWikis. I got the wiki to
work
just fine, but I find their servers to be MUCH slower than HostMonster and
they do NOT offer phone support (email only). On the plus side, my wiki
does run
and they answer email fairly quickly.
....but I changed before I heard about the fix listed above. I hear the
fix
works on HostMonster.
