I received HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error when I try to access my ASP or ASP.net page. What does this mean?

"HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error" is one of the most uninformative error messages.  In general, this error indicates a bug in the code.

Internet Explorer has a feature that blocks the true error message from displaying.  In order to display the true error message, follow the instructions below:

  1. Open Internet Explorer
  2. Goto Tools --> Internet Options
  3. Goto Advanced Tab
  4. Uncheck Show Friendly Error Message
  5. Click OK
  6. Reload the page, you should now see a more detail error message.
