[opencms-dev] 500 - internal server error

Even if you use sessions in your JSP, by specifying
    <%@page session="true" %>
then this would not mean that people need to login. So the reason must
be sth. different.

Maybe your index.jsp tries to read some file that was never published
into the online project?
Maybe you work with a different site root when you are logged -
different from the site-root-folder that you have configured for your site?

In any case - your logs should show the error and if they don't you
could temporarily increase the log level.
