There are many many many possible causes. Have a look at the server (IIS) logs.

When the error is 500, that means it's an internal error, meaning internal to the service - the service threw an exception that was not caught.
Look in the Windows event logs on the server to see what went wrong.

Also, try:
- Go to menu Tools/Internet Options in your IE.
- Click on the Advanced tab, uncheck "Show friendly HTTP error messages" option and click Ok.
- Try accessing your web page again. Now you will see much more meaningful error message which will help you to troubleshoot the problem.

Other few possibilities:
There might be an issue in the way you have hosted your app. May be multiple config files?
Do make sure, you have hosted your application correctly. Published the application as website and setting up the virtual directory.

Please make sure that your application web.config or app.config file has not any issue or perfect in config sections. If you changed the config for HTTPS configuration or something else, please verify config is perfectly updated.
