in thread What could prompt an internal server error?

Another really important possible source of information is your server logs. what do they say? anything? i just debugged something by spending an hour pulling my hair out and smashing my head against a wall and then 30 seconds reading the logfile and fixing the problem it told me about.

if you're running apache on a unix system, they're likely at /var/log/httpd-error.log or something like it.
