I just installed Drupal 7 and included the rotating banner module.
I installed the required file, including the two .js files.
I was able to setup a rotating banner, but when I go to add a new slide to the banner, I get a HTTP Error 500.

The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.pinellasprep.org/admin/structure/rotating_banner/1/slide/add. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this web page later.
HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

Any suggestions?

thanks!

Not sure what would have caused this. Maybe try clearing the cache (admin/config/development/performance). If that doesn't fix it, check your server logs.

I am having a similar issue and found this error in my Apache error log:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function media_load() in /srv/www/beta.example.com/public_html/sites/all/modules/rotating_banner/rotating_banner.module on line 241, referer: http://beta.example.com:8000/

Line 241 on rotating_banner.module reads: $media = media_load($slide->fid);

Fmizzell's patch at http://drupal.org/node/1145092#comment-4455752 seemed to fix the issue I was having.

As another poster mentioned there is a patch (created by Fmizzell) for this module that once installed works well. To make things easier for the neophytes (I place myself in this catagory), I will upload the patched version of rotating_banner.module file. All you will have to do is replace the file on your hosting site. Also, if you are just installing this module you will need to lace jquerry.cycle.js and jquery.easing.js in the includes folder for this module.

Since there seems to be a few patches and needed files to make this module work module, I am uploading a new .zip version to include all of the necessary changes. Note this is not my module and I am not a programmer, I am just trying to make it easier for novices, like me, to install it.
