Today I faced one error in Jupyter Notebook saying “500 : Internal Server Error“. I spent lots of time to solve this error. But trust me you will be shocked to see that how simple the solution is.
Error Details
Today I created a fresh conda virtual environment for Python 3.8 using below command:
conda create -n cv python=3.8Now when I ran the command (jupyter notebook) to open Jupyter Notebook. I found an error saying “500 : Internal Server Error” in the browser. Below is the screenshot.
You can also see my error log in the cmd below.

The solution of this error is simple. I wasted lots of time to find this silly error. You will see lots of solutions over the Internet. But trust me none of them will solve this 500 : Internal Server Error.
To solve this error you just need to observe your cmd log. As you can see in my log I have an error saying: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'chardet'.
So you just need to install that library using below command:
conda install chardetI am using Anaconda so I installed that library using conda command. If you do not use Anaconda then you can use pip command to install that Python package.
That’s it. 500 : Internal Server Error in Jupyter Notebook should go now and it should open correctly in your web browser.
Please note that I had issue with chardet module so I installed that library You may get another library error say: tornado. In that case, you need to install that library.
Other Solution
In case you do not see any library related issue in your cmd log then this 500 : Internal Server Error might be because of nbconvert package.
In this case, you just need to upgrade this package to solve 500 : Internal Server Error. Below is the command to upgrade this Python library:
pip install --upgrade nbconvert
or
conda upgrade nbconvertAfter installing or upgrading nbconvert library your error should resolve. Still, if you are getting same error, let me know in the comment section below, and I will try to find another best solution.
