Here we list some of the common error codes you may encounter when working with websites and what they mean. We've also come up with recommended actions that you can try to try to resolve the issue with the error code that is displayed.
404: The page cannot be found
We've probably all come across this error code when surfing the web. Error code 404 means that the path the visitor is trying to reach cannot be found by the server.
Recommended Action: Check that the path (URL) is correct, if it is, then debug the server if the file really exists at that path.
500: Internal server error
This can be due to quite a few different things. Error code 500 says that the server has some problem with the request being made, it could be that the rights are not sufficient or that some other part of the request is not working as it should, eg. that a proxy does not reach its upstream server.
Recommended Action: Check the permissions and test with higher permissions, check the error log on the server if it can provide a more detailed answer as to what is causing the 500 error message.
401: Unauthorized
You do not have access to the page for some reason, if you should have access, the authentication is not correct.
Recommended Action: Double check credentials if you have any, if not check the .htaccess file if it is blocking the path even if it shouldn't.
