Which hosting account do you have from Doteasy? The free one does not have PHP and MySQL, I don’t think. Their Ultra and above accounts do. It appears you have a Linux hosting account with them, which is good.

bbPress has fairly minimal requirements from a host:

* PHP 4.3 or greater

* MySQL 4.0 or greater

I can’t imagine a Linux hosting account that doesn’t meet those requirements. So what exactly does Doteasy mean by “incompatible”? I think you need to talk to them more.

Also, what happens if you just go and finish the installation? Does it work, or error out?

One last thing: do you have access to webserver logs to see what that Internal Server Error is? That might be key.
