Comments.Text: An HTTP 500 ("Internal Server Error") error is an extremely generic message. It can be caused by a stray character in an .htaccess file, or an improperly closed PHP tag, or an attempt to divide by zero, or a million other things. [Check your logs](http://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/6399) and see if you can find other errors or problem conditions recorded that are more specific.
