Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 500

mvcproject.local Apache/2.4.33 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.2o PHP/7.2.5 mod_perl/2.0.8-dev Perl/v5.16.3

How can i solve this problem?! thanks.!

Are you sure that the CGI script actually is not the problem? — RiggsFolly
I assumed you had a CGI script becaue you added ExecCGI and that is mentioned in the error message — RiggsFolly
