It all works fine. Now I would like to use Google Webmaster to get better information about my site but when I try to verify it by uploading a html file I get this error: "We've detected that your 404 (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (Success) in the header."

(file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (Found successfully) in the header". How do I fix that or how do I use the metatag way using phpbb3? vitox 2008-05-20 21:37:38 UTC #2 http://www.000webhost.com/forum/customer-assistance/741-phpbb3-google-verification.html Farstrider Hello, welcome to the forum We've detected that your server returns a status https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_404 of 200 (found successfully) for pages that don't exist. We can't verify sites with this configuration because it would enable anyone to verify ownership of your site. You can try our meta tag verification method or change your server's configuration.This configuration presents a security risk for site verification and therefore, we can't verify your site. If your web not found server is configured to return a status of 200 (found) in the header of 404 (not found) pages, and we enabled you to verify your site with this configuration, others would be able to take advantage of this and verify your site as well. To ensure that no one can take advantage of this configuration to view statistics to sites they don't own, we only verify sites that return a status of 404 not found error in the header of 404 pages.If your server is configured to return something other than a 404 for non-existent pages, try our meta tag verification method or change your server's configuration.You can change your web server configuration to return a status of 404 in the header of 404 pages and still provide a custom error page (see Apache information and IIS information). Note that we do a HEAD request (and not a GET request) when we check for this. Once your web server is configured correctly, try to verify the site again and we'll recheck your configuration.In my vBSEO setting, I have done this: "File Not Found" requests handling?Select how 'File Not found' requests will be handled:- Redirect to homepage- Send 404 HTTP code and show a 'Page not found' message- Include custom error page. NOTE: The filename should include the absolute path. (example: /home/user/public_html/error.php) I hv this: Include custom script: /usr/home/webmaste/public_html/404.shtml Could you please let me know how should I fix this?

Status codes 301 Moved Permanently 302 Found 303 See Other 403 Forbidden 404 Not Found 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons v t e The 404 or Not Found error message is a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) standard response code, in computer network communications, to indicate that the client was able to communicate with a given server, but the server could not find what was requested. The web site hosting server will typically generate a "404 Not Found" web page when a user attempts to follow a broken or dead link; hence the 404 error is one of the most recognizable errors encountered on the World Wide Web. Contents 1 Overview 2 Custom error pages 2.1 Tracking/Checking 404 errors 3 Phony 404 errors 4 404 substatus error codes defined by IIS 4.1 Slang usage 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Overview[edit] When communicating via HTTP, a server is required to respond to a request, such as a web browser request for a web page, with a numeric response code and an optional, mandatory, or disallowed (based upon the status code) message. In the code 404, the first digit indicates a client error, such as a mistyped Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The following two digits indicate the specific error encountered. HTTP's use of three-digit codes is similar to the use of such codes in earlier protocols such as FTP and NNTP. At the HTTP level, a 404 response code is followed by a human-readable "reason phrase". The HTTP specification suggests the phrase "Not Found"[1] and many web servers by default issue an HTML page that includes both the 404 code and the "Not Found" phrase. A 404 error is often returned when pages have been moved or deleted. In the first case, it is better to employ URL mapping or URL redirection by returning a 301 Moved Permanently response, which can be configured in most server configuration files, or through URL rewriting; in the second case, a 410 Gone should be returned. Because these two options require special server configuration, most websites do not make use of them. 404 errors should not be confused with DNS errors, which appear when the given URL refers to a server name that does not exist. A 404 error indicates that the server itself was found, but that the server was not able to retrieve the requested page. Custom error pages[edit] The Wikimedia 404 message Web servers can typically be configured to display a customised 404 error page, including a more natural description, the parent site's branding, and sometimes a site map, a search form or 404 page widget. The protocol level phrase, which is hidden from the user, is rarely customized. Internet Explorer, however, will not display custom
