I am not able to find any 500 errors showing off of your account. Can you post an example URL?

Ok!After a few hectic hours and follwing a related post reg Drupal,I manged to solve this problem by turning off the "Search Engine friendly URLS" feature in the Joomla admin.

Apparently the problem might have been due to the SEO URL feature using the .htaccess file for apache_modrewrite.
So do I now have a way to use SEO URLS AND avoid 500 errors?

Maybe this can resolve your problems, just uncomment the RewriteBase in your .htaccess file
Code:
#  Uncomment following line if your webserver's URL
#  is not directly related to physical file paths.
#  Update Your Joomla! Directory (just / for root)

# RewriteBase /

That works great!Thank you!
Initially,it started throwing 500 errors all over but I cleared my browser's cache and tried again.Now everything works perfect.Thank you again!
