Sorry, I do not have a direct answer to your question - about error 500.
(just sharing...)
(I also had an error: Missing acct key - but I tried to open an existing accout - with email and password - account key was not asked for...)

My account is setup, but the 500 error is at Berkley though it appears in other places things are functional -- in fact it isn't.

FYI, I also got the 500 error when trying to create
a seti account with Boinc.

exactly the same messages on me.
SETI said that all servers are up.
but i still cannot get response from scheluder.
and it's detaching automatically..
i need to attach again and again...

Any one can help? thz.

================================

problem solved!!
i set to use proxy in BOINC Manager and all things go well now!
btw, i also need to use proxy to post messages in this froum and setting my froum in my Account(View or edit forum preferences)..
i think it's something wrong with connection from my ISP and some SETI servers(i.e.: setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu & forum server)

P.S.: i am use a proxy in my region(HK)

I found an earlier reply (using google..)

By definition the 500 error is:

The Server experienced an internal error and could not process the request. ....

Is the error message in the title, an error because of the problems at Seti they have right now ? I haven't changed anything in the settings or on my computer.
