  • An HTTP Error – The most common error codes you will encounter:

    • 500 Internal Server Error – The server encountered an unexpected condition. This error appears when the server cannot gather any specific information about the problem. This often occurs when the server cannot fulfill an application request because of a misconfigured application. To resolve this issue, contact us.
    • 403 Forbidden Error – The server will not allow the visitor to access the requested file. If a visitor receives this code in error, check the file’s permission settings. 
    • 404 Not Found – The server did not find a visitor’s requested file. This error commonly occurs when a visitor mistypes a URL.
    • 504 Gateway Timeout Error – The server didn’t receive a timely response from the upstream server. This is temporary and typically resolves on its own.
