There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

hi jj09,

you may need to login to the server to check for the "real error message".

500 Internal Server Error message is just too generic and it does not tell you the whole picture of the problem. If you are hosting this site on a shared host, you may need to contact the provider to retrieve the real error message.

After changes in Webconfig file (to see the errors) I get that msg:

The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.

This is my website: http://pm.studentlive.pl/

Moreover: the http://pm.studentlive.pl/Home/Info page is working...

Hello World is working good...
