Internal Server Errors

[jadedskies]

Does anyone know what causes these wretched things? I'm trying to use this cool-looking site, but every time I use the 'post' button, I keep getting one of these wretched errors. Is there any way to get around them?

I asked this question on this site's sister site (which for some reason works) and this was the only reply I got:

"the reason: the computer is a sadistic ****, and it hates you.
the solution: don't go there, friend."

Methinks someone here can be a little more helpful.

PIT> Likely, the person who's running said server has no idea how to set it up, configure it, or maintain it, and the errors you're getting are the result.

While I don't agree with the person's reason, the solution seems on target to me.
If it's bothering you, and the person running the website doesn't know what they're doing, it's only going to get more frustrating for you.

Thanks for that, but what has me more confused is that there's a ton of people posting there - but for some reason, when I try to, it won't work.

What browser are you using? Is it the newest version? Have you tried using a different browser?

Edit:

Grrr. *repeatedly bashes computer*
I've upgraded IE to the latest version, but this stupid site still won't work.
Tommorrow, I try Netscape.

PIT&gt; Don't bother with Netscape. It's buggy as hell.

Now I'm not getting Internal Server Errors - but rather another annoying message.

"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Could not find stored procedure 'GetLastEntry11'.

/entrysave.asp, line 56 "

Is this at my end or theirs?

Theirs. It's showing SQL Server errors.
The problem lies in the coding of their Active Server Page, and not likely on your end.

Go back to my first response. Heed the advice.

[jadedskies]

Doh.
Guess I'll have to.
Why does it have to be me that the stupid page won't work for?
