404 - File or directory (a web.config file) not found - BUT FILE IS THERE - http-status-code-404

I enter my url and it shows the directory structure. There are some folders, which I can navigate to just fine, plus a Web.config file. I click the link and get the 404 error. The same thing happens for my Global.asax file. Why can't my file be found?

You can't open them for security reasons. You're not supposed to be able to open them in a browser.

It seems you use ASP.NET framework. IIS forbid the “http access” to these files.

hugo serve content inside .well-known folder

Third party application which I'm trying to integrate, asking to put a file inside a .well-known folder. how can I make that file accessible from URL? (example.com/.well-known/token.txt). site is deployed as a gitlab page. every attempt I tried gives 404 error.
If you put your ".well-known" folder inside the "static" folder it should get deployed to the root of your website as you expect.

Joomla 3x Homepage 404 & configuration file error

I've started getting a 404 error on my homepage, yet I can still access the admin area.
Another issue I'm having (which I'm guessing is related) is that I cannot save any changes to the 'Global configuration' page and I get this message when I click save:
'An error has occurred.
0 Could not write to the configuration file'
The configuration.php file permission is set to 0644
This is the website URL: http://www.asgdesign.eu
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
1. htaccess
Check the .htaccess file, if you have one in the root folder of your website. If there are no obvious issues, try backing up .htaccess and copying the default htaccess.txt file to .htaccess to see if this helps.
2. SEF
Temporarily disable any third party SEF extensions that are installed.
3. Cache
Try clearing and purging the cache to ensure you are viewing the latest version of the website.

URL rewriting is not properly configured on your server

I tried upgrading my cakephp version from 1.3 to 2.5 but encountered an url rewriting problem. Another cakephp app runs on the same version so I'm sure the mod_rewrite works.
Although when I go to example.com/pages/home I get following error:
URL rewriting is not properly configured on your server. 1) Help me configure it 2) I don't / can't use URL rewriting
When I go to my normal home page and I want to click on a home link I get following url :
http://example.com/app/webroot/index.php/
And it is the same for other urls.
http://example.com/antwerp becomes http://example.com/app/webroot/index.php/antwerp
When I go to http://example.com/antwerp the site works as it should...
Any ideas where I've gone wrong?
I would suggest accessing your account and re-uploading your .htaccess files from and to the following locations respectivelly.
/app
.htaccess
/webroot
.htaccess
.htaccess
Some FTPs do not upload those files automatically until you force it to.
If that does not work, check if you have your php.ini file in your public_html folder of this application.

where put clientaccesspolicy.xml and crossdomain.xml ? - 404 not found error

I have Silverlight app and when I want to do some action Firebug show me that on this two files I have 404 not found error.
So should I insert this files somewhere in my solution or to IIS rootwww directory?
Or it's other solution of this error?
You should put those files in the root virtual directory of IIS, which defaults to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\, such that the file shows up as "http://<yourdomain>/clientaccesspolicy.xml", or "http://<yourserver>/clientaccesspolicy.xml".

ubercart file download setting problem

2.drupal/downloads/faq.ods
3.drupal/faq.ods(after putting faq.ods in the drupal folder.
But still I am getting the same message. Plesae some body help me
It is looking for a path rather than a URL. You should probably aim to find out from your hosting company what the absolute path for your webroot is (e.g. www.mysite.com may actually be on disk as /users/mysite.com/httpdocs) and put in that followed by /drupal/downloads
