500 Error on Website
Question
My website is generating a 500 error, what does this mean and how do I fix it?
Answer
500 errors occur when you tell the server to do something that it will not or cannot do.
Generally 500 errors occur due to bad .htaccess directives and/or syntax.
The way to fix this is to look through any .htaccess files in directories that are generating the 500 error and fix any bad code. If you've made recent changes, reverse those changes and try again. If this doesn't solve the problem be sure to clear you browser cache and try once more. This can typically be done by pressing Ctrl + F5 on your keyboard.
