the home/www/web12/web/images and the 404 error

Hello,

If i create a folder called images in the root folder of my website (for example the home/www/web12/web/images) i cannot access this folder with my web browser, apache is returning me a 404 error.

This is a bit puzzling do you have any idea (i checked and i have no .htaccess in this folder)

If you have a solution i would appreciate.

Best regards,

JJ

 

Hi Till,

This is the output

# ls -la /home/www/web12/web/images
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 web12_jeanjacques web12 4096 2006-01-23 17:12 .
drwxrwxr-x 10 web12_jeanjacques web12 4096 2006-01-23 17:11 ..
-rwxrwxr-x 1 web12_jeanjacques web12 0 2006-01-23 17:12 index2.html

 

Are you sure you're trying to access the correct web site in your browser? If the folder exists and it is a permissions problem, you should get a 403 error. But you have a 404 error...

 

Hello Falko,

Yes, i am really sure that i try to access the correct website. I'm really confused by this error, i really don't understand what's going on.
What kind of log or config file could help me to solve this problem ?

Best regards,

JJ

 

The logs in /var/log/httpd or /var/log/apache.

 

Hello Falko,

Nothing special is appearing inside the error.log inside /var/log/apache/error.log these are the last lines of this file, [Mon Jan 23 19:52:13 2006] [error] [client 68.96.26.136] File does not exist: /var/www/sharedip/xmlrpc/xmlrpc.php
[Mon Jan 23 19:52:14 2006] [error] [client 68.96.26.136] File does not exist: /var/www/sharedip/xmlsrv/xmlrpc.php
[Mon Jan 23 21:59:53 2006] [error] [client 66.70.255.159] File does not exist: /var/www/sharedip/htmltonuke.php

There is nothing about this 404 error.....

What could i do ? do you have an idea ?

Thanks,

JJ

 

Are you typing the domain name into the browser, or just the IP address?

 

hairydog2 is right. If /home/www/web12/web's FQDN is www.example.com, you must access the web site by using www.example.com, not the IP address or just example.com (unless example.com is listed under Co-Domains).

 

Hi,

I'm accessing the website thanks to the FQDN like http://www.mysite.net/images, i've also tried with the other co-domain wich is declared as http://mysite.net, if i try http://mysite.net/images i still have this 404 message.

 

dig www.mysite.net

it's resolving to the correct ip (193.251.177.175)

cat /etc/hosts

Apparently i don't have any dns entries related to mywebsite.net, do i need one ?

here it is:

Thank you for helping because i'm really lost.

 

Hello,

Yes, the index.html is displayed if i try http://www.mysite.net.

I've made a test, and if i create a subfolder inside my /home/www/web12/www called test2 and put the folder images inside (therefore i'll have /home/www/web12/www/test2/images) i can display the file /home/www/web12/www/test/images/test2.txt for example.

Do you have other ideas ?

Best regards,


JJ

 

Hello,

I've checked on more time, the ls -al command didn't give any answer.
Now i'm trying to see if there's something wrong with the apache config but i'm not sure to edit the proper file.
Could you tell me where is the httpd.conf file used by my websites running with isp config ?

Best regards,

 

Code:

httpd -V

gives you the answer about the configuration file.
