The Internal Server Error on EVOKO Room Manager panels when trying to book a room could be caused by incorrect settings in the EVOKO Configurator, such as misconfigured resource permissions, failure to assign correct user roles, or integration issues with Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, or Google Calendar. It could also be due to server communication problems if the system is not properly connecting with the calendar platform.
