Internal Server Error
(Image: canva.com)

An "Internal Server Error" happens within the web server attempting to show yous a web page. It's unremarkably a server-side trouble out of your control.

I'thou trying to download software from a specific site. No matter what I try to download, I get this error message:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal mistake or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator webmaster@******.com and inform them of the fourth dimension the fault occurred and annihilation yous might have washed that may accept caused the mistake. More data well-nigh this fault may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the asking.

How is this resolved?

I'g very familiar with this error. I see it all the time when setting up or making changes to websites.

The practiced news? It's not your fault.

The bad news? In that location'south probably nada you tin practice.

TL;DR:

Internal Server Fault?

  • It's non really your problem, and there's likely aught you lot tin do.
  • Make sure the URL you're going to is exactly right.
  • Links in email are sometimes cleaved by line wrapping.
  • Treating it like a browser trouble can assist.
  • If you're the webmaster, there are probably some clues on your server.

It'south the server'south problem

An internal server error is an fault on the spider web server yous're trying to admission. That server is misconfigured in some way that prevents it from responding properly to what you lot're asking it to do.

Think of information technology like the web's version of a blue screen. :-) Something went so incorrect on the server that it couldn't even tell you lot what the problem was.

Internal Server Error

Aside from informing the site owner (who may or may not be at the webmaster'south email address included in the error message), there's probably nothing yous can exercise to resolve this problem. That's because it'due south not your problem.

The person who is responsible for the website needs to fix it.

It's nevertheless the server'south fault, but…

Fifty-fifty though it's the server'due south fault for not handling something properly, there are scenarios where you might have inadvertently acquired this. For example, errors in URLs can cause information technology.

I scenario: you saw a link in an email or webpage, and rather than clicking on it, yous copied and pasted the link in a spider web browser. If y'all accidentally didn't select the unabridged link and left off a few important characters, you might come across this message.

Similarly, if y'all're typing in a URL from a book or other source, and don't type it in exactly, you might see this message.

To exist clear, the server should be able to handle any you did cleanly and report errors in some useful way. If the server doesn't, and you get an Internal Server Error bulletin, it's still the server's fault.

In that location are some straws to grasp at

An internal server error happens when the server encounters a situation it doesn't know how to handle.  Occasionally, your browser can be the source of these kinds of errors. You can effort these steps to come across if they'll help:

  • Articulate the browser cache
  • Clear cookies
  • Refresh the page (F5)
  • Endeavor a different browser

While it's more than than likely these won't work, there's always a take a chance they might, and they are elementary to try.

If you're the webmaster…

What if you're the webmaster?

Nine times out of x, this fault results from i of ii common errors:

  • An error in a CGI script caused it to fail or output an mistake bulletin before it started producing valid HTML. It happens to me all the fourth dimension if I have a syntax mistake in one of my Perl CGI scripts.
  • A permissions issue occurred when attempting to access a CGI script. Depending on how your web server is configured, it's not enough for the script to have "execute" permission; it must also exist owned past the correct user and belong to the correct group. I tin't tell you what that should be, because it varies widely from server to server (and fifty-fifty from site to site on the same server). My best recommendation is to wait at the attributes of a script that is working and copy that.

The format of the error described here is common for Apache web servers. That means we can likewise expect for common error logs. Once more, the location of these logs varies a great bargain based on specific web server configuration.

  • access_log is the log of successful accesses. On a shared or virtual hosting server, at that place may exist many of these: one per website, often with site-specific names or in site-specific locations on the server.
  • error_log is the log of errors. On some hosts, there is an fault log per site. On others, each site has its own access_log, but there may only exist a unmarried error_log for the system.
  • suexec_log is the log near people forget. It deals with the permissions used to execute CGI and other scripts. When a CGI fails to execute because its ownership is wrong, the generic internal server error shows in the error log, simply a more specific fault detailing the permissions involved appears in this log.

Additionally?

The message "Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error was encountered while trying to utilise an ErrorDocument…" indicates a second configuration error on the server.

When the web server encounters an error of any sort, the page it displays to study the fault is only another .html file stored on the server. This mistake means that trying to display the fault page for the first error (the internal server mistake) actually generated a 2nd error (as well an internal server mistake, in your case).

At that point, the server but gave up.
