hello,
my site uses the "Create new user account, administrator approval required" registration method.
When submiting the registration form, a 500 "Internal server error" is generated but the user is created and the registration email is sent. I have nutralized the .htaccess and increased max's in php.ini but nothing helps.
Other methods work fine.

Does anyone have an idea what may be wrong?

That sounds pretty frustrating.
What version of PHP/MySQL do you have? It sounds like an old-school Perl/CGI error. That's impossible but it makes me think that something is happening that is upsetting PHP.

When you have PHP syntax errors -- do you see the errors appear on the screen? On my host, these errors are suppressed and I just see a blank white screen unless I have 

ini_set('display_errors', 1);

as the first line of index.php.

Thanks for the advise but 'display_errors' does not work in the case of internal server error.

Do you have access to the web server error log? I guess the first thing you need is to figure exactly what the internal server error is.

I always look for the complicated things first and forget the simplest... thanks
