404 error on website

pauro 76

I'm currently designing a website on Dreamweaver, CS3, Mac and getting the dreaded 404 error when it's on live.

Server Error


404 - File or directory not found.

The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.



Anything I can do on it? Cheers..

The dreaded 404 error? A page is missing that you are looking for its not that dreaded

Is it the homepage that cant be found or a different one. Help us out a bit here what page are you looking for at the time, give us a url to look at, something.

Ok mate, designing a friend's website and its when you click on the thumbnails for a larger view that it happens.

Click on any of them except the first one and that error comes up...

404 means the files aren't found. Check and make sure you've uploaded the "new windows" directory to the /images/portraits web new/ directory as that's where the 404 starts for me.

Here's the folder layout... is the naming convention that's wrong though? On the images folder, the names are like..



Would that cause a problem?

Your source code says the files are located (or should be) at images/painted panels web new/thumbnails/

From your screen shots they seem to be in a different folder, you also seem to have renamed the images with a new_ before them which isnt in your source.

eg.

<img src="images/painted panels web new/thumbnails/Lorelei.jpg

Also when you click the thimbnail its trying to open a .html page not a file

images/painted panels web new/new window/Lorelei.html which also seems to be in the wrong place..check back on your links as it looks like youve renamed things but not changed them in the code.

What I tried to do was use the Open Browser window in the Behaviour tab and link it to a html page with the new pic. Should I link to the larger jpg rather than a separate html page? (if that makes sense)

Got it! Was putting the files from the local server rather than the remote. Thought it was automatically taken from the remote... Updated a small bit of it and it seems to work now, thanks for the advice!
