 * Does it happen only during the activation, or can you not browse to any other
   part of the site?

 * This is a server error, could you please take a look at the server logs and tells
   what it says at the time of the error.
 * Another thing, could you try disabling all plugins and enabling shield to see
   if the error repeats?

 * We have found an issue with Gateway errors for servers that haven’t configured
   their DNS correctly. We’ve added a fix for this in 10.1.4… hopefully this will
   apply to your sites.
