I receive "HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error" when I try to access an ASP or ASP.net page

"HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error" is not a particularly informative error message. In general, this error indicates a bug in the code.

Internet Explorer has a feature that blocks the true error message from being displayed. In order to display the true error message, follow the instructions below:

Open Internet Explorer
Go to "Tools" --> "Internet Options"
Go to "Advanced" tab
Uncheck "Show Friendly Error Message"
Click "OK"
Reload the page, you should now see a more detailed error message.
