Identify Error 500: When your website displays an Error 500, it usually indicates a server-side issue. This can occur if your website is undergoing maintenance or due to other technical problems.
-
Check Maintenance Mode: Error 500 commonly occurs when maintenance mode is enabled on your website. Maintenance mode is a setting that restricts access to the site while updates or maintenance tasks are being performed.
-
Using Secret Key: If you need to access the website while it's in maintenance mode, you'll typically need to use a secret key. This secret key is configured when maintenance mode is enabled. It acts as a password to bypass the maintenance mode restriction.
-
Construct URL: To access the website with the secret key, you'll need to construct a specific URL. This URL format is usually your domain followed by a forward slash and then the secret key. For example, if your domain is "example.com" and your secret key is "abc123", the URL would be "example.com/abc123".
-
Access the Website: Enter the constructed URL into your web browser's address bar and press Enter. This should allow you to access the website despite it being in maintenance mode.
