HTTP-500 errors are usually displayed when servers are configured not to display 'full errors'. You will need to get the host to not display 'generic' errors. Then you will get the ASP.NET error. You will most likely have to turn off "Custom Errors" in your web.config as well to find out truly what is going wrong.

You're missing YAF.NET libraries in your root /bin directory.

I'm not actually seeing an error pointed out in the above code. We would need to see the full error response to help.
