What is a 404 Error?
A 404 error, short for "Four-O-Oh," is an HTTP status code indicating that the requested resource could not be found on the server. This can happen due to various reasons such as incorrect URL formatting, mismatched file names, or directory structure issues.
Common Causes of 404 Errors
- Cross-referenced links or URLs that point to different files or directories
- Mismatched file names with the expected output format (e.g., "image.jpg" instead of "images.jpg")
- Directory structure issues, such as missing or incorrect subdirectories
Fixing 404 Errors
To fix a 404 error, you need to correct the URL or file name and ensure that the file exists in the expected location.
- Please Verify Your URL: Ensure that the URL is correct and accurate. Double-check for typos and make sure the file name matches the expected output format.
- Check File Existence: Make sure the file exists in the expected location before uploading or referencing it.
