[Mediawiki-l] strange 500 internal server error

[BruceMount at aol.com]

I had the same 500 server error a few weeks back and I eventually heard from 
2 other people that were having the same problem.  Turns out that all 3 of us 
were using HostMonster.com as our hosting service (overall, I had been very 
happy with them up to this point).

Steve Jones found the following reference, look up item #153 on that list of 
issues at:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk  

....he tried it and it solved his problem.  I had already switched hosts at 
that point so I have not yet tried it myself.  Are you using HostMonster.com?
