I happened across a pretty serious error when enabling Taxonomy XML and Taxonomy Server, brought my whole site down. I did indeed enable Taxonomy CSV before and had no issues, then enabled these 2 and in 3 separate tries it killed the entire test site with no going back other than to wipe the db and import a backup. I do have a serious number of other modules enabled in order to find what is currently working for D7 and what is not on this test site.

Raw Apache Logs displayed no useful information.

Error:

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Not sure about this.

I tried a clean install on a new site (no extra modules), all things seemed to turn on OK. Need to know where this may have been triggered from. Not enough information to replicate there. Try getting PHP to actually display errors to the screen.

For future reference, you can disable a module that causes problem directly in the DB

UPDATE system SET status = 0 WHERE name='taxonomy_server';

Or use drush.

At a random guess, maybe another module declared a hook that now matched a func name we use?

However, in general the taxonomy server in unpolished and still basically experimental. Not really ready to use.
