Error Code
|
Meaning
|
Solution
|
| 200 |
Success |
No problem - this code means that the document requested has
been successfully received by the browser. |
| 204 |
No content |
The page was successfully received by the browser, but the
page did not contain any content. This error usually occurs
when a page is dynamically generated from a database, and the
database connection is not active. |
| 206 |
Partial content |
The transfer of data from the server to the browser was interrupted.
This results in 'Transfer Interrupted' being displayed in the
browser. This error usually occurs when the user has cancelled
the request by pressing 'Stop' in the browser window. |
| 300 |
Multiple choices |
The server could not find the document that was requested,
but other documents with very similar names were found. This
usually indicates a spelling error in a hypertext link (A HREF)
tag. |
| 301 |
Moved permanently |
The URL has been permanently redirected. This is usually achieved
through a Unix symbolic link ("symlink"). |
| 302 |
Moved temporarily |
The requested URL/resources has been temporarily redirected.
|
| 304 |
Not modified since last retrieval |
The requested URL/page/resource has not been modified since
the user last requested it - ie it has been 'cached'. This is
not a problem |
| 400 |
Bad Request |
The web address that was sent to the web server has a malformed
'syntax'. This could indicate that the address sent is not in
the form http://www.myserver.com/directory/directory/file.html.
Usually, you will find that a slash or the colon at the start
of the address has been left off. Netscape also returns this
error when a space is sent as part of the address. The space
must be replaced with '%20'. |
| 401 |
Unauthorized |
The web address that you are trying to view is restricted
via a .htaccess file placed on the directory in which it resides.
You will need to authenticate to view the file. If you do not
authenticate, then you will be denied permission to view the
file. |
| 403 |
Forbidden |
The file you are trying to view on the web server is restricted
via Unix permissions, and the Unix permissions deny you access
to view (known as 'read') the file. You need to contact the
owner of the page and get them to changed the Unix permissions
on the file. |
| 404 |
Not Found |
The web page you are trying to access does not exist. This
is commonly known as a 'broken link'. You should contact the
owner of the page and alert them to the fact that there is a
broken link on the page. |
| 500 |
Internal Server Error |
The server encountered an error when trying to serve out the
requested page. This error is most commonly generated from .htaccess
files which have an incorrect syntax, when the .htaccess file
has incorrect permissions (group other needs at least read permission
on a .htaccess file), or when a cgi script has been uploaded
in binary rather than ASCII format. |
