 * Hey Turgun,
 * Sorry to hear that, I unfortunately can not reproduce this issue at my end. But
   generally, a 500 internal error is a server issue, and if this is happening by
   only activating the plugin and not running it, you should drop a note to your
   hosting company to let them know, if this is however happing when you try to 
   import feeds and assuming you have a lot of feeds, this probably means your server
   host is not powerful enougth to handle the fetching (which normally doesn’t request
   a lot of ressources ), so in this case, you might start shopping around for a
   new hosting company…. BUT, this is just speculation since I don’t know exactly
   why you’re getting that error, I can see your server logs and can’t reproduce
   the issue here, I hope this helps.
 * Thanks a bunch for reaching out.
 * Cheers,

 * Hi there,
 * I have had 500 Server Error with this wonderful plugin and after some debugging
   the issue with my VPS was in the PHP Settings of the domain.
 * To cut to the chase, just select the value to “none” in the “open_basedir” menu
   of the PHP Settings.
 * This shold solve the issue.
 * Regards,
    Vladimir
