Can someone explain to me in layman

[khue]

Can someone explain to me in layman term what these HTTP Status code mean:

HTTP status code: 500 Internal Server Error
HTTP status code: 502 Bad Gateway

I'm getting these errors when testing a ColdFusion page by entering data and submitting the page.

You help is appreciated very much.

Internal server error:

This is a standard "Uh oh, the script failed" error generally.. and its put there for user friendliness.. what you want to do is in Internet Explorer goto: Tools >> Internet Options, click the advanced tab and under browsing, you should find a checkbox next to "Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages", uncheck it, you may have to restart the browser.. but you'll see helpful errors, and that's no joke, it will tell you where the problem is and sometimes what to do about it.

Bad Gateway

*I think* this is when you send a request to a url that cannot handle the request.. IE if you submit a form to a domain with a default page of index.cfm.. let's say..

mycfmdomain.com

You actually want to submit to:

mycfdomain.com/index.cfm


Anyway, I think all this should help.
