Error 500

If you're using environments and you're currently in production mode, consider displaying errors by changing the values in index.php temporarily. Also try looking in the error logs of the server. If none of that helps, you might step through the path of code execution with a simple die('Made it here.'); You'll eventually reach a point where you know where execution is failing.
