Internal Server Error

What it means

The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request. This is a catch-all for server-side errors with no more specific message.

Common causes

• Unhandled exception in application code
• Database connection failure
• Memory overflow
• Misconfigured server
• Bug in backend code

How to fix it

Check server logs immediately. The client cannot resolve this — it's a server-side problem. Implement proper error handling and monitoring.
