What is the HTTP 500 error?
The HTTP 500 error is a generic error message that Internet Explorer passes out to you when your web site errors for one reason or another; it provides no useful information at all. We can change this setting, as we shall see in a short while, to allow you to see and read what the real error is. Good error information is essential to the debugging of any application, and the HTTP 500 error causes much grief to folks that are new to web site development and test in Internet Explorer.

Making the Changes
To enable Internet Explorer to show you the root cause of any error in your code, you need to make a change in the Internet Options window. You can access the Internet Options window by selecting the Internet Options item from the Tools menu at the top of Internet Explorer.

Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages
Accessing the Advanced options displays a window that contains many settings that can be changed within Internet Explorer. These settings are broken down into categories. The category we are interested in is the Browsing Category.

Scrolling down the window will bring you to the Show friendly HTTP error messages checkbox. By default this box is checked in order to hide the real error from your users. Once you have located this checkbox, remove the check and click the OK button. You can now retest any problem pages that you have had difficulty with and see the real error message that is being generated. Once you can see what the real error message is, then debugging your page becomes so much easier
