Ah, the dreaded "500 Error" -- simply translated, means "something broke." Check all the ColdFusion log files, usually application.log, server.log or exception.log will point you in the right direction. Over the years the first place I have found to look (after the logs) is the site error trap. I have found if your site throws an error and your error page catches the error but then subsequently throws an error of its own, a 500 error will result. The same can result by specifying a 404 handler that does not exists -- but obviously these are only related to missing files. Good luck.
