It looks more like a browser compatibility issue that is known to happen with newer versions of Firefox.

ACS: Resource not found or internal server error ErrorCode: 500

I too am getting his error (although, my software version is 5.1. we are looking to upgrade to 5.4x) as well. In addtion, I'm also not able to transition between

Single result selection

Rule based result selection

when I select "Single result selection" and attempt to save I get the following error (logging in using Firefox 21)

An unexpected error has occurred.

To continue your work, reselect the option in the left navigation bar.

If you continue to receive the unexpected error message, close your browser and log in to ACS again.

If you still receive the unexpected error message, contact your system administrator or technical assistance.

Thanks you

It turned out to be a browser problem. I had firefox 16 and IE 10 running. I didn't think that every single web browser running on the server would actually cause it to throw an error. The whole situation was horrible because the service access rules are the ONLY thing that I was able to see that had some sort of weird incomptability issue. So the entire web application works like normal but when you try and get to the service access rules, it just sits there and throws an error. Wasted more time then I would like to admit. Thank you very much for this post. After downgrading IE to 9, the problem dissapeared.

Maybe IE 10 in Compatibility mode works

Anyone know of what could be causing this problem, when using a supported browser?

We are running ACS version 5.3.0.40.9 (appliance).

We are using IE 8. When using ACS, everything works fine for a period of time, and then at (seemingly) random times, we will suddenly get the "ACS: Resource not found or internal server error". The only way to get working again is to log out of ACS and log back in.

Also, we seem to get logged out at random times, even while active and in the middle of updating something. Sometimes we receive the message that our session has timed out and other times we are simply dropped back to the login screen, with no error or timeout message. Either way, it happens while we are definitely active and working...not a logout due to inactivity.

This is all with IE8. Any ideas?

TIA

I tested IE 10 works if you

purohit_810 — Fri, 05 Dec 2014 17:27:29 GMT

I tested IE 10 works if you run with "compatibility mode".

tools menu --> compatibility view. and try it,

Google Chrome version 34.0

mr_daniel_cruz — Sat, 06 Jun 2015 17:26:18 GMT

Google Chrome version 34.0.1847.116 works for me too!

Internet Explorer 10.0.9200 brings the ErrorCode: 500.

Firefox 36.0.1 brings the ErrorCode: 500.

That's probably pretty old

Ahmed Bashir — Wed, 23 Nov 2016 10:04:50 GMT

That's probably pretty old now , but what works for me is restarting the service.

Telnet/SSH to the server and issue the commands #acs stop then #acs start

issue the command # show application status acs to verify that the service is back.

This will hopefully resolve the issue.
