You may want to check the error logs to see what exactly the 500 error is. 500 error itself is vague and without knowing more details, there is nothing I can do.
I can’t reproduce the problem as well. I tried to install the plugin and do a network activate and it works fine on my test site.
This was the last few I got:
– [core:error] [client] AH00124: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. http://www.{website}.com/index.php
– [include:error] unable to include “/${GD_ERROR_DOC}” in parsed file
– [fcgid:warn] (32)Broken pipe: [client] mod_fcgid: ap_pass_brigade failed in handle_request_ipc function
Hmm it seems to me like a server config issue based on the error code. Seems to be an infinite redirect. Not sure how PostViews is involved in this but there is no redirect function in PostViews. I am guessing it is some sort of plugin/theme conflict going on there as well (probably)
Sorry, I have no idea how to solve it.
Dear Lester Chan, this problem make my Apache (2.2) stuck in “Sending Reply” status (w), so many “W” status on my web server, and reaches the maximum MaxClients limit, causing high memory and CPU usage, until I restart Apache.
After I disable this plugin, apache normal again. Server-status under normal conditions:

Sorry this is my fault. After I repeated the investigation, the cause of the problem I stated above, not because of your plugin, but because of my theme or other plugins. So, I pull back my statement above.
