HTTP 500 Internal Server Error in SharePoint 2013

 HTTP 500 Internal Server Error in SharePoint 2013

                            

issue with one of web site created.

Issue: Website cannot display the page due to HTTP 500 Internal Server Error.

 I tried to do  open SharePoint Central Administration, to see if I get the same error message. Strangely, I was able to open Central Administration without any errors.

  

I opened IIS Manager to make sure SharePoint – 80 Application Pool was running, and I noticed that SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPoolapplication pool was stopped.

                      

 I started SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool application pool, refreshed my SharePoint site but that didn’t resolve the issue. I opened IIS manager and noticed

that SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool was stopped again.

I Check the  IIS events log to check what’s the issuewith SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool application pool. 

 The IIS event log showed the warning ID 5021:

The identity of application pool SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool is invalid. The user name or password that is specified for the identity may be incorrect, or the user may not have batch logon rights. If the identity is not corrected, the application pool will be disabled when the application pool receives its first request.  If batch logon rights are causing the problem, the identity in the IIS configuration store must be changed after rights have been granted before Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) can retry the logon. If the identity remains invalid after the first request for the application pool is processed, the application pool will be disabled. The data field contains the error number.

In order to resolve this problem I navigated back to IIS manager –

> SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool application pool-> Advanced Settings.

                     

 Navigated to the Identity option.

                                                

Updated the user’s credentials and clicked on OK.       

         

I performed iisreset.

  

And opened IIS manager again to check if it

worked. SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool was now started and didn’t stop anymore.

  

My SharePoint 2013 site was working again!

Open the SharePoint 2010 power shell

                                                                                                          

Type the following:

(get-spfarm).buildversion

Ensure it shows something like 14 0 7108 5000

                                                

           

Note: Maybe you'll notice that after installing, the Config DB version is 14.0.7108.5000 instead of 14.0.7110.5000. No worries that it's because of the SEARCH dlls have been released as a version higher 14.0.7110.5000 than the SharePoint dlls 14.0.7108.5000 .

December 2013 CU for SharePoint 2010

December 2013 CU for SharePoint 2010     
           

Be aware that the December Cumulative Update for SharePoint 2010 is a Post-SP2 hot fix. It is recommended to have SP2 installed before installing the December CU.

The KB articles for December CU are available at the following locations

• KB 2849990 - SharePoint Foundation 2010
• KB 2849971 - SharePoint Server 2010
• KB 2849972 - SharePoint Server 2010 with Project Server

As you see there is a separate Full Server Package for SharePoint Server 2010 with Project Server which simplifies patching of this common installation.

The Full Server Packages for December 2013 CU are available through the following links:

• Download SharePoint Foundation 2010 December 2013 CU
• Download SharePoint Server 2010 December 2013 CU
• Download SharePoint Server 2010 with Project Server December 2013 CU

After installing the fixes you need to run the SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard on each machine in the farm.

Be aware that the SharePoint Server 2010 CU contains the SharePoint Foundation CU. 

SharePoint Server 2010 with Project Server CU contains Project Server CU, SharePoint Server CU and SharePoint Foundation CU.

That means only one package has to be installed for the SharePoint 2010 product family.
