Ever have a server not recognize a xxxx.php file?

Post by xpiamchris »

So this really is perplexing me. I uploaded a file.php to a new folder I created, and it uploaded successfully. I see it under remote view via dreamweaver. I exited out of dreamweaver, and started it up again, and reuploaded it without any problems.

I then looked into the actual files via ftp and I see the files there.

However, when i try to access the page via web address, it says the page cannot be found and is missing...

what gives?

Do you have .htaccess file with RewriteRule -s at FTP?
Are you sure the file is in the DocumentRoot folder of the server?

It's generally a bad idea to ask a question without giving any details. Giving an error message or telling us whether the error message is coming from the server or from PHP would give us the ability to help you more.

But to take a stab at it, I'm with ~Darkhazer's second suggestion. Are you sure that you've uploaded it to the correct folder?

And the error, according to the first post, is HTTP 404 response from the server.
