help w/ 500 error

7-17-02, 03:59 PM

sorry to post another thread about this, but the other one seemed to have nothing to do with it. here's the problem: my site is divided into floating frames (iframe tag), and the one in the bottom right corner is giving me a 500 error. It tries to lad random.php (which it is supposed to do, and the file exists on the server), but after a while it just gives up. What causes a 500 error, and how can I fix it?

Response status codes beginning with the digit "5" indicate cases in which the server is aware that it has erred or is incapable of performing the request. If the client has not completed the request when a 5xx code is received, it should immediately cease sending data to the server. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server should include an entity containing an explanation of the error situation, and whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. These response codes are applicable to any request method and there are no required header fields.

500 Internal Server Error (Bad Script Request)
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
