server error

[Guest]

I keep getting this message: The server has encountered an internal error
which prevents it from fulfilling your request. The most likely cause is a
misconfiguration. Please ask the administrator to look for messages in the
servers error log.

I looked in the error log and there was nothing there about this error.
Please help me!
thanks

Windows XP is not a server, unless you mean IIS, the web server in Pro
Edition.
