Ashley:

I think he was joking around. Essentially - to provide any help, people here need to know much more detail about what kind of server error occurred, and what input was provided so that the problem can be reproduced or a helpful suggestion can be made.

This guide to asking good questions might be of some help to you: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I probably can't help you with your actual problem, but if you can provide more information maybe somebody else can.

some examples that might help.

Given the information supplied, I suggest a spatula. Many servers are quite adept with a spatula.

Your results may vary.
