server error

When websites are called up using the HTTP protocol, the client, i.e. the web browser, sends a request to the server using the request-responseprocedure. The server responds with a response that always contains an HTTP status code.

This status code also indicates faulty page requests and error pages, i.e. server errors. The error pages due to the client have the HTTP status code 4xx, those due to the server have 5xx.
