404 Not Found error

smithalan · Feb 27, 2014

I have an eCommerce website. While I try to visit any product page i.e. inner page it doesn't load rather it says "The requested URL was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."
What's the problem. Is that mean website got problem with hosting? I take my hosting from a local reseller. What should I do please suggest me.
Thank you!

Why will you not check with your hosting support first rather than ask in the forum? They can help you better.

Actually, I sent a mail to their support. But, they are little lazy..thats why asking here.

That's why I don't buy cheap hosting

Did you check if your .htaccess file is in place and named correctly?

First understand what a 404 error means:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_404

It means the page was not found or does not exist.

[h=4]404 Not Found[/h]

The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No
indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or
permanent. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server
knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old
resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to
reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other
response is applicable.

Now there could be several reasons for this but you should check your directory and contact your host.
