Error messages is like above? Then follow this.

TOW is set to Windows Event Log for logging by default. Sometimes Windows Event logging occurs 500 Internal Server error. I don’t know why. But it’s suspicious.

Change logging setting to anything but Windows event log. Edit trac.ini like below or visit Admin page > General > Logging.

[logging]
log_level = WARNING
log_type = file

Hope this helps.
