Hello,
I have a WebHelp project deployed through a web application on an intranet. There is one topic that displays the standard HTTP 500 error ("The website cannot display the page") when accessed from the TOC. If I search for this topic and open it from the Search pane, it opens just fine. There is nothing unusual about the topic, just a couple paragraphs and a table, no images, nothing crazy.
As luck would have it, I referred our Support team to this topic and of course, it's the one topic in the entire project that doesn't open correctly!
Any ideas?
Thanks, Dawn

Does it work if you delete the TOC reference and insert it again?

The issue is in the production help that was sent out to clients in December. The topic works fine when I view the help from my project and I haven't edited the topic since last fall.

What does the server log show? That way you can see what gets requested and what the server cannot find.
