I want to share my experience about this facebook debugger 500 error. I was getting this error without any explanation on facebook debugger. I checked my server side and domain records, tried what I found on internet with no luck. It took me long time to discover the problem.

Problem was I was sharing url within a restricted area in my website while sharing for first time. Let me explain, I have a test page in my cms, before I publish anything, I test if everything's ok. I realised whenever I test a content, facebook tries to crawl site, but it's in a restricted area. So I moved anything about facebook from my test page.

For me it was because when Facebook, Google or other robots access the page, they don't send a language like a browser does, and in the code we were using the browser language to determine the content language.

Take a look at your IIS configuration. Something in there is refusing connections from anything that isn't a web browser.

Your page returns a 500 error for the W3C validator also.
