Sophos UTM "500 Internal Server Error" or "Internal Server Error"
Icon Time

Quick fix

Do you get the error message “Internal Server Error” or error code 500 when trying to login to the Sophos firewall web interface? This error means that the server encountered an internal error and could not complete your request.

To find more information on the cause of the problem, check /var/log/httpd.log. In most cases, restarting the WebAdmin can solve the issues. Restart the WebAdmin using ‘/sbin/init.d/httpd restart‘.

Sophos Firewall error 5

"502 Bad Gateway Error"
Icon Time

Quick fix

The 502 Bad Gateway error message occurs when the web server and the Sophos firewall use a different cipher. IIS6 supports 128 bit high cipher only on RC4 suites, while Sophos Firewall supports the cipher on AES suites.

In order to solve the issue, you need to install a Microsoft hotfix to support AES 128-bit and 256-bit cipher suites on the legacy web server.
