How Can I Fix 500 Internal Server Error? Video Lecture - IT & Software

How can I fix 500 Internal Server Error?
The error occurs when the website has an error,
or if there is a problem with the website's
programming.
I've seen Java errors errors on a site, as
well as Adobe Flash plug-ins that crash a
browser.
Should I switch to another browser when I
get the error?
Microsoft's IE may give you the notice that
the website cannot display the page.
But changing the browser will usually just
change the error message, not actually fix
the problem.
So what can I do about it?
The problem is usually on the server, not
anything you can fix unless you are the system
admin.
But you could try to reload the web page.
That's the internet equivalent of restarting
the PC.
I said you could try, not that it would work.
If the admin fixed the issue between now and
then, then you'll pull up the working page.
I've heard the problem could be the web address.
Sometimes a website alias will fail but the
original site is still working.
Use the direct web address or URL to get around
that problem.
It is the right URL.
Clear your browser's cache.
If it saved the error page as the default,
you won't get the right one until that's gone.
I've never heard of that.
But I'd be afraid to lose my place or interfere
with my browser session.
If you are in the middle of a checkout, you
might want to leave things alone until the
session times out.
Now if all that works, what else can I do?
It is a big world wide web.
Try another site.
Other sites might not be working.
If that's the case, I'd check with your ISP
connection.
If the router you are using resets its IP
address, you can't connect, and the same is
true if the ISP server resets or goes down.
And now we're back to a server side problem
I cannot fix.
Try rebooting your PC and get back to me.
