"Not Found

The requested URL / was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

I started my project over, with one page html, one attached css, and two photos, one of which is linked correctly. The other one is just hanging out, for now.

Everything is in a folder on my desktop. Dreamweaver knows where it is. I can upload the folder, but I'm still getting the 404 message.

I don't get it. Loading, but not reading. Oh joy... any bright ideas?

It sounds like you are uploading the files to the wrong location/folder on your remote server. Have you been provided with instructions from your hosting company which folder to upload your files to?

You DONT upload the folder on your desktop you upload the files/folders within your folder on the desktop to the correct remote folder.

Hello Daphne,

in addition to osgood_'s hint: please have a look at your codes, maybe you will find some of these entries, starting with file:///. These pathes are pointing to your hard drive, which nobody can see except you. After that please load up your website to your server, so that we could find some other "culprits" if still necessary.

What is the actual file name for your single .html page?

If it's anything other than one of the server's default home page names, it won't come up when you visit the site, unless it's also part of the address.

If your page is named "home1.html" for example, going to www.yourdomain.com wouldn't show anything because home1.html is not a default server home page. You would need to type in www.yourdomain.com/home1.html in order to see the page you've uploaded.

If the above is your issue, and you can see the page by entering the entire address including the page name, change the file name to index.html from within DW's Files window, allow DW to update any links in your site, then re-upload.

I suspect your site is not properly defined in DW.  See screenshot below. 

The root folder on your local site is a folder on your primary hard drive.  Example:  C:\yourSiteName.

The root folder on your remote site is determined by your web host & it varies by hosting plan.  If unsure what to use, contact your hosting company.

index.html = your domain's home page (yourSiteName.com)
