Such a broad question requires a broad answer.

Technically, an Error 404 is a client-side error, implying that the page you were trying to reach on a website couldn't be found on the server.

For a more specific answer, please give us a few leads to work from, such as

does the error occur in Dreamweaver or in a browser
does the error occur locally or remotely
what is the URL to the site.

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

the 404 is only inside of Dreamweaver. My website is fine, but I cannot view pages inside of Dreamweaver using Live view. It's doing this with only two of my websites, not a third website. So it's a Dreamweaver "issue," not an actual website issue. Live view is taking me inside of Dreamweaver to my 404 error page that I have set up on my server.

I do not have a local server set up either. i cannot find in Dreamweaver how to change it back, whatever I may have clicked? I prefer to be able to toggle from "Code/Split/lLive" view to actually "See" my pages inside of Dreamweaver.

AND! when I try to open the page inside of Dreamweaver using the "open in browser" option, it takes me to my 404 page. LOL.
