They may be the same thing. The server returns a 500 series error code (503) to the browser. Your IE is probably set to display "friendly error messages". This is to prevent you from seeing an occasional stack trace or other techno-complaints, but it will also prevent you from seeing the page when the web server (correctly) sends a custom error page with the correct HTTP status code.
