anyone know how to fix it?

Hi there,

Seems like your iornman.pythonanywhere.com is getting to a standard hello world page. Were you able to solve your problem?

no

Hi there, if your website shows a 500 server error, that's usually because of some sort of bug in your code. You should be able to find more information in your error log, which is linked to from the Web tab.

Next time you see a problem, take a look in the error log and see if that provides any clues? And if you're still stuck, post the last few lines of your error log here in the forums?

i do have the file?

Try using the full, absolute path to the file, so, eg /home/myusername/myfolder/myfile.txt, not just myfile.txt.

Thank you Harry, that worked!
