Symptoms
Internet Server Error appears when Confluence tries to save a page that contains the following terms
1

3
select ... from ...
where ...
The words "select" and "from" can be anywhere on the page content but must be in that order.
Cause
A Mod Security plugin installed on the Web Server is configured to disallow SQL terms in POST data and can cause issue when saving Confluence content.
Resolution
Contact your system administrator to reconfigure your ModSecurity plugin.
