I've been using ProductCart for years. I just updated my meta tags in the control panel and all of a sudden I'm getting 500 Internal Server errors! The server is working, just product cart is affected. Anyone have an idea where I could look to find the problem?!

It's impossible to troubleshoot the problem without a detailed error message, so you should contact your hosting provider and have them enable detailed errors for your site. In IIS 7, you can also use a "web.config" file to force the raw error to be shown.

After that has been done, you might also need to apply the Code Debugging tip as detailed in the following WIKI article:

Knowing the raw error will likely point you in the direction to solve the problem.

Holy cow. Thanks! Found it, restored it. Back on track.

Although I'm not sure what exactly went wrong at this point. It was the meta description in the ...includes/settings.asp file.

At least I know where to look.

Thanks again!
