Hi
I have installed the validator,

but when i click on check, i following error
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to
complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, admin@example.org and inform them of
the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have
caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

(In reply to comment #0)
validator.w3.org (v0.8.5) behaves exactly as Gioacchino said, however my
locally installed Validator (HEAD from CVS) has no trouble validating that same
page (which is a 404 by the way).

Either the bug is corrected in the CVS, either it’s an installation specific
problem in the official validator instance.

Comment 3 Ville Skytt 2009-12-10 19:28:50 UTC

I suspect that the validator.w3.org instance times out when trying to retrieve
the document, it takes a long time before the 500 Internal Server Error occurs.
 Why that happens, I don't know, but one possibility is that the
www.studiocattaneo.biz server or something between it and the validator does
that for connection attempts originating from validator.w3.org.

I have lowered the default user agent inactivity timeout to 45 seconds in the
development version (was LWP's default, documented to be 180 seconds on my
box); that should at least cause a better error message than "500 Internal
Server Error" in more cases also on validator.w3.org.  See bug 4985 for more
information.

0.8.6 outputs a better error message on timeouts.
