An 'Internal Server Error' (500) indicates a problem on the server's side. A 'Client Error' (e.g., 400 Bad Request, 404 Not Found) indicates a problem with the client's request. A 500 error means something went wrong with the server's processing of the request, while a 400 error means the client sent an invalid request.
