HTTP Status Code 500 - Internal Server Error

500 Error Code Explained


The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. This is a generic error message, given when no more specific message is suitable.


Why it occurs


This is a 'catch-all' error generated by the Web server.

Something has gone wrong in the server side, but the server can not be more specific about the error condition in its response to the client. Thus the client receives an HTTP status code that it recognises as '500'.


Fixing 500 error code

This is not a client-side problem and the error can be resolved only by fixes to the Web server software.
