Check the server logs: The first thing to do is to check the server logs for any error messages. You can access the logs via cPanel's "Metrics" section or by logging into your server via SSH and checking the Apache error log.

Check the Django logs: Django also has its own logging system that can help you identify errors. Check the logs for any error messages that might be related to the "Internal Server Error" you're seeing.

Generally, files should have a permission of 644 and directories should have a permission of 755. You can change permissions via cPanel's "File Manager" or via SSH using the "chmod" command.
-
Check the Python version: Make sure that you're using the correct version of Python for your Django application. You can check the version of Python installed on your server by running the following command via SSH:
python --version
- Check the Django version: Make sure that you're using the correct version of Django for your application. You can check the version of Django installed on your server by running the following command via SSH:
python -m django --version
Make sure that you're using a version of Django that's compatible with your application.
By above these steps, you should be able to identify and fix the "Internal Server Error" issue with your Django application on a cPanel
