# [Plugin: Facebook] 500 Internal Server Error

 * After filling in the required Facebook App information, I hit SAVE and was immediately
   sent to a 500 error page. After this, the entire site (front & backend) went 
   down with a 500 error. I had to delete the plugin to get my site back.
 * Any idea what went wrong?

 * If your server doesn’t have curl or a complete PHP 5 install, it might not support
   the code in the Facebook libraries. What hosting service are you using?

 * Thank you for the speedy response!
    We have our site hosted on our own server…
   I generally have to go through the IT department to get any server-side things
   done (such as when I had to install PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin). I don’t know if 
   [this information](http://pontis.inspecttech.com/version.php) would be useful
   to you or not. How can I figure out what is missing so I can relay this to the
   IT department?

 * Edit: Forget what I said earlier about curl. I’m looking into it.
 * Edit 2: Yeah, it’s mostly lack of curl. Despite some code to attempt to work 
   without curl, it just doesn’t appear to work right without it. This will most
   likely be fixed in a future version.

 * Also, if you have any other Facebook-related plugins, deactivate them first. 
   Multiple Facebook plugins will almost always conflict with each other.
