The HTTP 500 Internal Server Error server error response code indicates that the server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.
This error response is a generic "catch-all" response. Oftentimes server administrators log error responses like the 500 status code with more details about the request to prevent the error from happening again in the future.
