The oddest error I’ve ever seen.

  • I can post anything on my wordpress blog except:

    If I were chained to a bench and ‘perl’ was the only thing that could open the lock, I’d probably cut my hand off.

    Everytime I do that it gives me a 500 Internal Server Error. Any idea what the issue is? My host took a look at it and was baffled too.

    I’ve tried double and single quotes and everything else I can think of…it’s kinda annoying.

    I noticed that something with the quotes was messing it up, actually. Ironic.

    Anyway, thanks for all the help. My new site is slowly coming together and I’m getting the hang of wordpress.

    Any other suggetions? It’s happening again and it doesn’t seem to want to post something that doesn’t mention perl at all, at least is there a list of words that has this error?

    Developing feature full firmware that is stable and works properly is a
    time-consuming task.

    It’s not letting me post that sentence…and it took me thirty minutes to narrow it down to that.

    From following links in the other threads podz mentioned, it looks like a mod_security issue. ‘mod_security’ is an Apache module. Not all hosts install it; if yours does, you may run into this problem.

    For Internal 500 errors (which are also Apache errors rather than WP), if replacing your htaccess file does not solve the issue, you should contact your provider’s tech support. When I had problems earlier this year, the sysadmin said it was caused by “a low limit on the number of concurrent apache processes.” He raised the limit and all was well.
