404 Error - File or Directory not found

Hi there
I have a simple CF page set to do a dump of the server only at this stage.
<cfdump var="#server#">
It works fine when I'm on the server itself and run from 127.0.0.1/mydomain/index.cfm
When I try to run from www.mydomain.com - I get a 404 file or directory not found
Is this a CF error or is this an error being thrown up from IIS
How do I get around this error ?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards

LSO Content Player Error - HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found

Hi All
Please could you assist.
I have published a course to my ISS CMS and configured the links in both ECC and J2EE lsm/mediator.
Result
Username='username', SystemName='HRD', Client='030', Host='22.22.22.22', Language='EN', SystemNumber='00', EnablePoolSharing='true', MaxConnection=50, AbapDebug=false:
CPCFG.RSURL = http://iiscmshost.domain/LSO600/Content/
CPCFG.REPUS = username
ServerURL=http://iiscmshost.domain/LSO600/Content/ ok!
I was able to successfully publish the course from the Authoring Environment to the CMS server.
When selecting the starting the course from the portal with content player i get the following error.
HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found
But the URL is referring to - http://iiscmshost.domain/lms/mediator/courseview?sid=8685627505550088697845288091101&language=EN&sys=HRD&client=030&sap-accessibility=X
How does directory http://iiscmshost.domain/lms/mediator get created when the content is in http://iiscmshost.domain/LSO600/Content ??
Secondly can I change this reference to my LSO600/Content directory.
Please advise with any information. Point will be awarded.
Regards
Maahir

Dear Maahir,
We are facing the same problem. We are pointing over CMS to IIS, instead of KM content of portal. We are successfully able to release and publish the course, then attach to a course participant also.
But. When participants logs into the portal and click on Start Now. It giving 404 file not found Error. Its the same error. All our Course and content pointed to CMS IIS Server Url.
When we did the content player config test, result is NOT OK. We have required R3 authorization and CMS user authorization also with admin rights. Content Player console is working in AE when we start up the course. Its showing the error.
So, it seems like content player is not working properly. Bcoz we are launching course from http://WEBDAV repository server maintained in back end system. Which is the IIS(CMS Server)for us. Do we need to maintain anything separately to launch a course from IIS Server on R3 and SAP Portal. Below sample URL from page.
http://Sever:port/lms/mediator/courseview = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Could you please us know, how did you resolve the issue and tell me the cause of this issue.
Thanks and Regards

Sumtotal error 404 - file or directory not found

Hi,
We have a SCORM 1.2 compliant content created using Captivate 5. It's a multiple SCO (6 modules) combined into a single SCORM package. When the package was loaded in Sumtotal LMS, one of the modules alone does not launch and throws the below 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.
However all the modules get loaded when tested in Saba LMS. Any ideas on what could the issue in Sumtotal? Would greatly appreciate a resolution at the earliest.
Thanks,
Sudarsan

r_sudarsan,
I 've seen that error 404 numerous times in the past. It always seems to be related to the configuration of the web server not able to match the Domain name with the IP address, wrong path name, check the spelling, browser startup default settings to locate the website. etc. It always seems to be a configuration problem.
Good Luck.

404 -File or directory not found error

We have had several users report the following error message that appears inside the Rich Text Editor that is used for Instructions on the Process Steps of Formulation specs, in 6.1.0.1.32.
+404 -File or directory not found. The resource you are looking for mighthave been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.+
Here's the scenario. They are in edit mode on the Formulation Spec.
They go to the Process tab.
Click A Step, and see that there are several blank lines at the end of the instructions, and they want to clean up this blank space.
So they click the Instructions link, and the Instructions pop-up in a rich text editor.
They click in the editor near the bottom to get a prompt on the last blank line.
They then hit the backspace key to delete the blank lines.
As soon as they hit the backspace key the error is thrown in the editor; Not in an error message popup and no error log is recorded in the event logs.
And to make it even more interesting it doesnt happen all the time!
Has anyone else seen this behavior within Formulation specs?
P.S. Its not the IE pop-up blocker either.

Trey, i just did a quick test and was able to duplicate with the following steps:
1. open instructions
2. instead of clicking in the edit textbox, click below the edit textbox (ie. b/w the textbox and keywords)
3. hit backspace
404
my guess is, users are working quickly, think they click in the textbox, but accidently click outside the textbox. backspace is then trying to register a previous page command.
However, we changed the rich text control in 6.1.1, and it looks like this issue has been corrected.
if you find a different set of steps to recreate that triggers the 404, let us know.
thanks,

Breadcumbs don't work online: '404 - File or directory not found'

Breadcrumbs all work fine when testing my AirHelp application offline on my Windows 7 pc, (or if I access it as online browser based help). However, when I try to test the online Airhelp most of the breadcrumbs return a '404 - File or directory not found' error.
My RoboHelp Project has been created as follows:
1. There is a homepage created inside of RoboHelp
2. Then I have linked a number of framemaker books, for each of which the FM table of contents is being converted to create a new associated TOC.
3. In the master TOC I have added a New TOC Book for each framemaker book (making it a book with a link to a htm), under the New TOC Book I have inserted a TOC placeholder for the appropriate associated TOC.
When the Online AirHelp version is run, the breadcrumbs can only be used to navigate to the homepage and to the New TOC Books at the level immediately beneath the home page. The links to these pages seem to make sense, being of the form:
Breadcrumb
Link
Home
event:homepage.htm
Home/User Guide
event:../../../User_Guide.htm
Where it goes wrong is for the breadcrumbs futher down the path which have links similar to those shown below:
Breadcrumb
Link
Home/User Guide/Introduction
event:introduction.htm
Home/Handbook/Sign_Conventions
event:Sign_Conventions.htm
In both of the above the URL request that is being passed to the online server is not the full path, (it seems to be a relative path?) Is this the reason why the breadcrumbs don't work, and if so can you suggest what I need to do to get them working?
I am up against a deadline, and at the moment the only way forward I have is to abandon the converted Framemaker TOCs and have RoboHelp autocreate a TOC for the whole project for me, however this is not a practical solution because the folder structure is not the same when I do this and would require a great deal of manual editing each time it is rebuilt.
Hoping somebody out there can please assist?
Thanks.

I have many public IP's available. Do I need to install the RD Web access role on the DMZ server that has the RD Gateway role even if i have spare public IP's available?
I've basically have this setup "3.1. RD Gateway without AD DS in perimeter network deployment:"
On the below link
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2009/07/31/rd-gateway-deployment-in-a-perimeter-network-firewall-rules.aspx
currently there's an CNAME record in DNS for remote.external.com which points to Server3.internal.pri
which holds the RD
Connection Broker, RD Licensing and RD Web Access roles
Are you saying to create an A record and point it to Server3.internal.pri
internal IP? I'm not getting certificate errors (yet) so do i have to run the script? i ask this as the error message i'm getting (404 - File or directory not found) doesn't seem to be related to certificates, i'm making changes to a production environment
so i have to be extra carefull!
Cheers!

RD Gateway - 404 - File or directory not found - Remote Desktop Services 2012 R2 - External users

Hi All,
I’m currently deploying RDS to our network, I’ve installed and configured the RD Gateway role – accessing https://remote.external.com/RDWeb internally works fine but not externally. Externally https://remote.external.com reaches the servers default IIS page
but once I put /RDWeb I get the error 404 – File or directory not found.
I’m not sure what’s not configured properly but below is the setup – keep in mind that the internal domain is different to the external FQDN i.e. the server name of the GD Gateway is Server4.internal.pri and the FQDN to access RDS externally is remote.external.com
- Server1.internal.pri Internal Network
RD Session Host
- Server2.internal.pri Internal Network
RD Session Host
- Server3.internal.pri Internal Network
RD Connection Broker, RD Licensing, RD Web Access
- Server4.internal.pri DMZ Network
RD Gateway DMZ IP/ Internal IP
- Certificate for all servers is a wildcard *.external.com
In the RDS Deployment Properties
Deployment Properties> Certificates> all certificates are configured with a wildcard certificate e.g. *.external.com
Deployment Properties> RD Web Access server= server3.internal.pri URL = https:// server3.internal.pri/RDWeb
Deployment Properties> RD Gateway> Server name = remote.external.com – I’ve understood that this is the URL (FQDN) to access RDS and not the RD Gateway servername itself
RD Gateway Manager Properties
Browse and import certificate> *.external.com
Transport Settings> IP address for HTTPS = 192.168.x.x (DMZ IP)
Transport Settings> IP address for UDP = 192.168.x.x (DMZ IP)
IIS
Both the RD Gateway and the Connection Broker have https certificate as *.external.com and in the site bindings https is * for ip addresses, specifying the DMZ IP on the RD Gateway doesn’t fix the issue
DNS, Network, Domain etc..
remote.external.com points the Public IP in DNS with an A record – Public IP is NATed to the RD Gateways DMZ IP on the firewall – RD Gateway is joined to the domain – RD Gateway has another NIC with an internal IP
Firewall
Port 80, 443, 3391 is open from the internet to the RD Gateways DMZ IP, RD Gateway also has an internal IP with full access to the other RDS roles
Errors I receive with the MS Best Practice Analyzer
Problem:
The Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) server Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate may not have a valid certificate subject name.
Impact:
If the RD Gateway server is configured to use an SSL certificate with a certificate subject name that is not valid, users cannot connect to internal network resources (computers) through the RD Gateway server.
Resolution:
Use the RD Gateway Manager tool to select a valid SSL certificate for the RD Gateway server to use.
Even though I did configure this… seems like it might be from the split DNS
Other
I can access RDS from the RD Gateway box https://remote.external.com and client machines
no certificate errors internally, either externally when I reach the default IIS page of the RD Gateway i.e. https://remote.external.com
Any help is much appreciated!

Troubleshooting Lync 2010 404 - File or Directory Not Found

Reading through several posts in this forum about 404 errors, none of the ideas have helped me with this problem
I have a single Lync 2010 server used for IM, Video and Audio conferencing; no voice. Lync 2010 clients work just fine, getting the Web App to work with an emailed meeting link like https ://meet.mydomain.com/username/C32249V3 displays a web page with 404
- File or Directory Not Found. Silverlight is installed, no errors in Event Viewer for Lync, iisreset has no affect.
Open for other ideas to try and places to look at?

Hi, you can check before with a Ps command like
$cred1 = Get-Credential "litwareinc\kenmyer"
$cred2 = Get-Credential "litwareinc\pilar"
Test-CsWebApp -TargetFqdn atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com -UserSipAddress "sip:[email protected]" -UserCredential $cred1 -User2SipAddress "sip:[email protected]" -User2Credential $cred2
$cred1 = Get-Credential "litwareinc\kenmyer"
$cred2 = Get-Credential "litwareinc\pilar"
Test-CsWebApp -TargetFqdn atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com -UserSipAddress "sip:[email protected]" -UserCredential $cred1 -User2SipAddress "sip:[email protected]" -User2Credential $cred2

Exchange 2007 - User getting 404 File or directory not found

Exchange 2007 OWA 404 - File or directory not found. I have two database on the same server and this problem is only affecting one database and the user in the other database is fine. I did a test and move the user to the other database and I gave
myself full access to the user mailbox and use OWA (Change mailbox) to access other user and later login as the user itself and everything is fine. I have thousands of user, and doing this is time consuming. Anythough on this?

Hi Tony,
According to the description, I notice that you have a problem on OWA. When logon OWA with users from specific database, get error "Exchange 2007 OWA 404 - File or directory not found".
I suggest check following points.
1. Please make sure OWA Virtual Directory in IIS is available.
2. Please make sure the OWA Virtual Directory in IIS has configured Basic Authentication by default.
3. Please try to re-build OWA VD for testing. I saw someone solved this issue by re-building OWA VD.
4. Since you have tested, moving mailbox to another database can auto-fix this issue, please also try to follow Ed to solve this issue.
Thanks

404 - File or directory not found - HFM WORKSPACE

Hello All,
We are seeing the error below when a user logs onto an HFM app.
*"404 - File or directory not found.*
*The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or temporarily unavailable."*
When they click on Administration -> and any menu items, the error goes away and they are able to go to that navigation page.
Could anyone suggest how to prevent this from happening?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
SM

Ok.
Things to check:
#1 - If it is a default startup item from workspace, you can go to the preferences menu item and change that. (File --> Preferences --> General --> Default Startup Options)
#2 - If the default item is in the reports explorer, check preferences as well. (File --> Preferences --> Explore --> Default Folder
#3 - If none of that works, you can try clearing out the user preferences for the user by looking at the HFM database. Go to the following table : <app name>_USERPARAMS and pull all records that match the username (DB field = username) in question. You can remove those rows from the table and it will reset that user's preferences. I THINK HsvSystemInfo_LastContentSrc points to the last item they were using and deleting that might be sufficient, but I haven't had to do this in a while so I cannot say for sure.....

404 - File Or Directory Not Found Upon Intersection Check Report Display

In FDM 11.1.2.1, when there are intersection check errors, instead of the intersection check report automatically opening in a new tab, I get a "File Download" message box with Open and Save buttons. If I choose Open, I get the "404 - File or directory not found" error. If I choose Save and save the file to a local path, I never get the option to open the file and the "Processing. Please wait..." message runs forever.
FDM is running on virtual Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit, IIS 7, Excel 2007, with SQL Server 2008 R2 64-bit and IE 7 web client.

Tony, thanks, I'd like to give your work around a shot. We've tried all of Oracle's recommendations with no luck. I have temporarily unhidden my e-mail address in my user profile. Please let me know if you need anything else.

Access Web App - 404 File or Directory not Found

Trying to create a Sharepoint 2013 Access Web App, app creation completes successfully, I can check in SQL and the database for the Web App is created successfully also. When I try to open the Access App i get a 404 - File or directory not found.
Any ideas, I do not have an Office Web App Server setup, is this required?
Thanks, TJ

Been so long that I don't exactly remember. I can't remember what I had in DNS that was causing the issue. Currently though, I have my Sharepoint apps zone, which contains a CNAME entry with the following information:
Alias name: *
FQDN *.(DOMAIN).COM
FQDN Target: SP1.(DOMAIN).COM
Where (DOMAIN) is my domain. Hope this helps, I will look a little more and try and remember what I did.

J2EE Engine startup page error: File [main.jsp] not found in application..

Hi Guys,
I have just uninstalled and reinstalled SAP Netweaver 7.01 portal. The uninstall was clean and the reinstall also went without any errors.
However, immediately after this, when I open http://<host>:<port> I get the following error:
404 Not Found
The requested resource /main.jsp is not available
Details: File main.jsp not found in application root of alias [/] of J2EE application [sap.com/com.sap.engine.docs.examples].
If, instead, I open portal (http://<host>:<port>/irj), it works fine.
Anybody has any idea why this has happened and how can I resolve this issue?
Thanks,

Hi Anil,
I don't see how this note is relevant here. It is just the j2ee engine start page which is not opening. If I go straight to the systeminfo page or the portal login page, they are all working.
Any experience on this issue with that note u suggested? Please share.
