Hello,

I have the same problem! :(
I run Mongoose in CentOs. I see the same error: Error 500: Internal Server Error
I know what may be the problem, but I don't know what to do about it:
in mongoose.c, it wants to fork() to run the cgi. but fork() has problem in 
multithhreaded program.
Has anyone solved the problem?

Thanks in advance.
