# [Plugin: Efficient Related Posts] Internal Server 500 Error

 * Recently, I disabled Efficient Related Posts on my primary site, [http://www.technightowl.com](http://www.technightowl.com),
   for testing. Now, when I try to activate the plugin again, I get that Internal
   Server 500 error after a few minutes. I made sure there were no other installed
   products that competed. For now I’m using someone else’s related posts plugin,
   but I’d rather use yours.
 * Can you help me find the cause of this problem?
 * Peace,
    Gene

 * Have the same problem. I assume there are too many queries created by the plugin
   and it cannot load them when activating.
    Can someone let us know where is the
   plugin writing in the DB, because I couldn’t find that. Had to disable it when
   testing the fcgi and now doesn’t want to start nor with suphp nor with fcgi. 
   Tried to complete remove the plugin and reinstall – the same thing happens…just
   times out after like 5min and I have my php timeouts set at 1200 sec. Please 
   advise. Otherwise the plugin works very nice until deactivated.
