HTTP 500 internal server error on OWA

We have an exchange 2000 server set up. When a user tries to access OWA either internally or externally, they get an  http 500 internal server error. This just started today after running with no problems yesterday.

I forgot to mention, every once in a while( maybe 1 outof 10 tries) the email will actually open.
This error means that there is an issue running an ASP script. Try stopping and starting the Default Website in IIS Manager.
Have you made any changes to the server recently?

Jeez, talk about ignoring the obvious. I completely forgot that our server is close to the limit of 16382 MB. It went over the limit and everything came crashing down. I checked everything and its brother, and forgot IT 101, "check your logs". Thanks for the refresher. By the way, is there any way to increase the size on the information store?
Do you have E2000 Standard?  You can get 1 extra GB.

Thanks LeeDerbyshire
I will give that a try right now.
Actually, I will give it a try after my scathing notification to all the boneheads that are still afraid to auto-archive.
