 * @Ica7
 * I had trouble tracking it down until I turned on error logging and found the 
   server error logs (which had lines very specific to issues with FastCGI).
 * Could you find or post those error logs? And, as GDHosting stated, are you using
   GoDaddy for your hosting?

 * Ok I am using Linux Shared hosting but found a round-about resolution to this
   issue.
 * I was getting 500 errors and their support was pretty useless, but I persisted
   and EVENTUALLY, they informed me that the problem was I was using FastCGI associated
   with my PHP files.
 * It comes this way BY DEFAULT.
 * I went into their Hosting GUI, the Extensions stuff, and changed the file association
   for PHP files from “FastCGI PHP 5.x” to just “PHP 5.x”
 * Even though there is really NOTHING in any of their sales information that says
   you CAN’T use this, it was on anyways.
 * I don’t get any 500 errors any longer and my response time seems much faster 
   across the board.
 * Hope this helps.
