Hi Sai,

A 500 error of this type means there's a communication issue between the 
frontend & backend.  Usually it's the result of a misconfiguration (or an 
SSL certificate issue).  See this common installation issue guide: 

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-%22500ServiceUnavailable%22fromtheUserInterface

 Keep in mind that, when your user's are running the frontend, *it runs 
from their browser*.  This means, the backend must NOT be localhost, unless 
the backend is running on the same machine as your browser.   Usually, we 
recommend the backend be run from a public domain using HTTPS (as it needs 
to be accessible to all users who are accessing the frontend).  If the UI's 
"config.prod.yml" has the REST settings using "localhost", this means that 
you can only run the UI from a browser that is on the same machine as the 
backend.  To run it from a different machine means you need a non-localhost 
URL for the REST API.
