Hi,
Following methods could solve your issue.
An "Internal Server Error" (HTTP 500) in Safari on macOS usually means the website server is having a problem. It's not a problem with your Safari browser or your computer, but with the website you're trying to access. The error is a generic message, indicating something went wrong on the server-side, but not providing specific details. It's often a temporary issue with the website's code or resources.
Here's how to troubleshoot:
1. Check the Website:
- Try another browser:
- If the error persists in Safari but not in another browser like Chrome or Firefox, it might be a Safari-specific issue.
- Contact the website:
- If it's a specific website causing the error, reach out to their support team as it might be a server-side problem.
- Check if the site is down:
- Use online tools or websites to check if the server is down or having problems.
2. Troubleshoot Safari:
- Clear Safari's Cache and Cookies: Go to Safari's Preferences > Privacy and clear your history, cache, and cookies.
- Disable "Prevent cross-site tracking": One suggestion is to disable this setting in Safari's Privacy settings.
- Check for Safari Extensions: Sometimes, extensions can interfere with website loading. Try temporarily disabling them or removing them to see if the issue persists.
- Restart your Mac: A simple reboot can sometimes fix temporary glitches.
- Update Safari: Ensure you're using the latest version of Safari.
- Check your network connection: A weak or unstable internet connection can sometimes cause problems.
- Check your time and date settings: Ensure your Mac's time and date settings are accurate.
- Change DNS settings: Another suggestion is to try changing your DNS settings.
- Safe Mode: If you suspect a third-party app or software is causing the issue, try booting your Mac in Safe Mode to test.
3. If the problem persists:
- Check server logs (if you are the website administrator): Server logs can provide more specific information about the error.
