For whatever reason, since I enabled pathauto and path to my installation, I have been getting server 500 errors whenever I try to submit changes to modules under Administrator->Settings. I can make changes to the internal Drupal settings.

My server logs on Bluehost don't really tell me anything useful. Any ideas what is going on?

Servus.

Error 500 seems to be caused by two main reasons:
Number one seems to be problems with the htaccess setting for the rewrite module, number two (with certain providers and shared servers) seems to be very restrictive server settings. In the latter case, the server error seems to happen when the server load gets beyond the limits the provider set.
If you _know_ your htaccess works fine, you may try to use the 'throttle' to reduce server loads and/or upgrade your hosting plan or look for a less restrictive provider...

Thanks Norbert. For giggles, I tried saving module settings after reading your post and got the same server 500 issue. then I simply enabled throttle, and now I can save module settings. Could be a coincidence but your other tip on server load bears watching. I am on a shared enviornment so I have no server control.
