When I am browsing the forum, very often I receive this error:
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Your administrator may not have enabled CGI access for this directory.

I sometimes receive the same error. Refreshing the page has worked in each case. My assumption - others would know better - is that the server is temporarily overloaded with requests.

As someone who's run webservers, that is my assumption as well. Could be a failure at various ends, database, disk access, memory, etc, but a resource is likely being exceeded and the webserver is returning an error rather than the desired content.

In the past couple of weeks, the Internal Server Error notice has become real nuisance.

Probably. I didnt see anyone mentioned the error, so I wanted to raise the flag in case it is not noticed. I assume there are people here who might help, myself included, if needed.
