Troubleshooting "Internal Error No Message":

If you still encounter the "internal error no message," follow these steps:

Check the Logs:

View the logs of the Nginx Proxy Manager container for more details:

bash
Copy code
docker logs <container_id_or_name>
Ensure No Conflicting Entries:

Verify there are no conflicting entries for wetlandpond.duckdns.org or the paths you are configuring.

Restart the Container:

Restart the Nginx Proxy Manager container:

bash
Copy code
docker restart <container_id_or_name>
Clear Browser Cache:

Clear your browser cache or try accessing the Nginx Proxy Manager interface in an incognito window.

Conclusion
By properly setting the location to /videofeed.html in the "Custom Locations" tab, you ensure that requests 
to wetlandpond.duckdns.org correctly forward to https://weather-observations.live/videofeed.html. This should 
resolve the internal error if all other settings are correct.
