Error 404 - Not found


Information:-



A 404 error is an HTTP status code that means that the page you were trying to reach on a website couldn't be found on their server.
Another possibility is if a website has moved a page or resource and forgot to redirect the old URL to the new one. When that happens, you'll receive a 404 error instead of being automatically rdirected to the new page.

Possible Remedy:-

1. Retry the web page by pressing F5, clicking the refresh/reload button, or trying the URL from the address bar again.
2. Check for errors in the URL
3. Move up one directory level at a time in the URL until you find something.

For example, if www.abc.com/aaa/bbb/ccc.html gave you the 404 Not Found error, move up to www.abc.com/aaa/bbb/. If you get nothing here (or an error), move up to www.abc.com/aaa/. This should lead you toward what you're looking for or at least confirm that it's no longer available.

4. Search for the page at a popular search engine. It's possible that you simply have the entirely wrong URL in which case a quick Google or Bing search will help.
5. If you do find the page you were after, update your bookmark or favorite to avoid the HTTP 404 error in the future.
6. Clear your browser's cache and clearing your browser's cookies
7. Change the DNS servers used by your computer but usually only if an entire website is giving you a 404 error, especially if the website is available to others on other networks (e.g. your mobile phone network or a friend in another city).
8. Finally, if all else fails, contact the website directly.

A WHOIS search, using the site's domain name (e.g. weather.com) as your search term, should give you some contact information.


You might have luck emailing webmaster@website.com, replacing website.com with the actual website name.
