Hello,
I am getting this 404 not found error, while the file is most certainly on the server. All other files can be found, but I tried adding an icon folder and since then every file I upload to my server cannot be found by my browser.
How is this possible and can this be fixed?
Kind regards,
Isaiah van Hunen
P.S. You are of course free to visit my website and possibly find out what's going on. Maybe some bad setting? I didn't change any though.

Have you try to give the folder the right permissions so it can be used via the web ? Also what type of server are you running this on ?

Strangely, putting it in an ".nl/icons/.." folder resulted in Not Found but in another folder such as ".nl/ico/..." - no problems at all!
Thanks to anyone who contributed to this post. I still don't understand the matter with naming a folder "icons", but oh well...

When creating a new database through PHPMyAdmin and trying to access localhost/newdatabase, I get this message:
"Object not found! The requested URL was not found on this server. If
you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404 localhost Apache/2.4.34 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.1.0i PHP/7.2.9"
The file doesn't show in xampp/htdocs either, only in xampp/mysql/data.
If i create files directly in htdocs, they work perfectly on localhost/.
Why has the file not been created in htdocs?
The content of the htdocs folder are files that can be interpreted by the browser such as HTML5, CSS, JS, etc... in order to show a webpage along with it's funcionality to whoever accesses it. A database in the other hand can't directly be opened by a browser, but rather accessed within the server by a backend language like PHP, in order to get the information that can be stored in it through tables. You seem to be new to web programming, so I'd recommend to quickly google some beginner tutorials that can help you to understand the most important concepts. To take on from your kind of confusion, I'd point you to expand your knowledge on these concepts:
HTML5
CSS
PHP
MySQL
Once you get the grasp of them and identify each by their core funcionality, you'll be good on your way to make webpages. Later on you'll find yourself with demands like making your webpage look nice and clear, and also to make it load fast, but there's time for everything and the concepts I pointed are the best start for you.
if you wanna open your database URL = http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
File directory ~ xampp/htdocs for source code such as extension file .php .html .js or other.
if you wanna load localhost a URL is http://localhost:80 (auto find index file to first load)
Sample given as image folder for my code. Hope that can help you to understand xampp
I uploaded an image earlier today and it works fine so long as i do not type www into the URL in front... We have had this problem multiple times and I have no idea why this keeps happening or what I can do to help the problem...
I have tried to access from multiple browsers and computers to see if it's a caching issue but alas, it does not seem to work...
I have used both google AND the stack overflow search functions in an attempt to find someone else with the same problem. Maybe I'm not very good at googling, but I wasn't able to find someone else. I did find qiestions that asked between the differences between using www and not using it, but not a single of them had files that could be located on one of them while not on the other.
Which website?
A webserver can respond to
domain.com
or
www.domain.com
Some webserver respond to both of them (depending on the configuration), but there is no guarantee.
The keyword is Webserver Domain Binding or Virtual Host here.
You should open DNS configuration page, in CNAME Record section, add more this record:
Whereby, your images will existing on both http://www.example.com and http://example.com
I have a situation that I was wondering if someone can help me out with. I have a webpage that displays properly most of the time. Sometimes however (and this is rare), it does not apply the .css file and just dumps the data out on the screen. It looks like the .css is not loading. Is there a way to get the .css to load before the actual html so that this does not happen? Any ideas on how to best proceed on this?
Thanks
There is a possibility that server is returning 404 on CSS path. Download fiddler or monitor it using Web Developer Tools (Network).
You need to load the CSS in before body actually starts. There might be an issue with your server. It might be returning 404 request while getting CSS from server. You can contact server (hosting) administrator for the same.
Check the IIS settings and rights on the server
So I have a booking system on my website with the URL domain.co.uk/booking. I wanted to add it to a different site I have, domain.com.au/booking. It is a simple drag and drop then run an install.php file. However my domain.com.au/booking does not find anything there. the files are there in the EXACT same way as they are in my domain.co.uk site which runs fine. Are there any reasons why the path would not be found that i may simply be over looking?
N.B the error that appears is
The requested URL /booking/ was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
If you are on a linux server, /booking/ does not equal /booking. That could explain the difference between the two sites (one is hosted on linux, the other is not).
Though this is just a wild guess.
I have a script that loads a php page for variables. There are no problems when the swf is uploaded to the site but when I run it locally, I keep getting "Error opening URL" messages. I'm using absolute pathing and if I paste the URL my script is using in a browser, the correct page opens. This only started happening after the site changed servers. Any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks.
The "Error opening URL" seems to be caused by a number of issues. I have tried to keep track of all the different solutions I have used in the past to fix the problem. Ever time I encounter the "Error opening URL" the solution is different. Hopefully one of these solutions helps you.
I usually find the following solutions on google.
- Make sure crossdomain policy is setup correctly.
- Set a bunch of variables like Security.allowDomain(domainHERE)
- Change publishing setting for your flash file.
- Make sure your connecting to the right url.
Here is what works for me... usually.
1) Make sure you are connecting to the right URL.
Use the full path, don't use relative links. Also, copy and paste the url in your web browser to see if it connects.
You can also use flash.events.HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS to view the HTTP headers but I would recommend you check out solution 5 first. Its a much easier way with more details.

2) Put a crossdomain.xml file in the root of your server (usually public_html or www)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM
"http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

3) While editing the flash file, press Ctrl + Shift + F12
Make sure Local playback security is set to Access Network Only.
4) If you are hosting locally using MAMP, WAMP, XAMP or something similar, skip this step. Otherwise, Call your webhost and yell at them ;)
I have hosted with godaddy, hostgator and liquidweb. It seems that all of them have some kind of firewall setup blocking flash from accessing the files you want it to.
Give your host a call, tell them your problem and ask them to whitelist the files you are trying to connect to and you should be good to go.
Remember, everytime you want to connect to a new file, it has to be whitelisted. I always forget this and it takes me 3 hours to figure out why changing the name of my file or moving it messes everything up. :)
5) Use Charles Web Debugging Proxy Program to gather some important information.
I will break this down into a few steps.
Usually for me the "Error opening URL" is due to a coding problem on the site I'm trying to connect to.
Open Charles
Run your flash file
Select the site your flash file tried to connect to in Charles side bar.
View the Response tab near the top.
On the Response tab you should see a few other tabs near the bottom. View the Headers tab.
See what HTTP_Status was returned. Then look search this page to see what that status code means. It will give a somewhat broad definition but it still helps narrow things down.
500 Means a problem with your server... If your server is running fine, then its most likely a code problem.
Then view the Text tab near the bottom of the Response tab. This will show you exactly what that webpage looks like to flash. If your server is in some kind of debug mode where it displays errors, this is where you will see them.
Well I hope this helps someone. I will try to continue to update it with more issues and solutions I run into. This is probably the number one problem I run into with flash. Super annoying!
Crossdomains.xml file possibly?
not really a solution, but a work-around:
before CTRL-ENTER on your .fla, do a CTRL-S
this seems to work about 90% of the time for me
NOTE: I never had this problem until one random day about 6 months ago. Now it plagues most of my old projects, cs4 or cs6.
