Yes, please look at your apache error log file, it will tell you what 
the problem is.
Basically, Apache is saying "I don't like this, and I don't know what 
else to do, please get the sys admin to fix it". That's if it's a 
permissions error on any of the related files (.htaccess, the password 
file, or syntax errors, or options that are not permitted etc.

It is also possible to get an internal server error if the 
script/program itself can't run, usually the output of the script (error 
message) will be recorded in the apache error log, so again, that is 
where you will find out what the problem is.
