Basically it means that you have a directive in your web server 
configuration file that points to a page or another CGI script to handle 
500 errors and the web server was not able to find that page.  It's 
something you should fix, but probably not directly related to the 
problem at hand.

They can vary from around 6k to 12k or so depending largely on the 
compiler used to build it.  Your link program could be the problem, but 
it's doubtful if you can access the admin UI.

I'm assuming that your webserver is apache, is that correct?  Which 
version?  Can you post the <VirtualHost> section for the domain that 
your IC catalog is running on?

I'm not too concerned about the error page either, but it's good to 
establish that it is indeed a 500 error.
