There is something very weird happening on a website I'm working with. When I do a research on Google about a product of the website, the return result is a page that doesn't exist but it doesn't return a 404 error.
The "page.html" does exist, but it is not on the path that Google found, the URL is somehow being created out of nowhere, and since it is inside Joomla, it is causing some visual errors.
I've done some research, and a-lot of people have this kind of error, but normally the page is a 404 or a duplicated version. In my case, the page opens normally, the only thing is that the "page.html" is somehow being put on a path that is not correct. I've already checked inside the folders and there is not a duplicated page inside them.
What could be happening?
If this is a website you host, you can mark the page as a nofollow. If not, Google Search has a beta feature called "About this Result" in which you can leave feedback telling Google the page does not exist. Also, if you reach a 404 page, Web Crawlers will find it on their own eventually.

Recently I tried to set up a custom 404 page using this guide:
https://thepugautomatic.com/2014/08/404-with-rails-4/
It ended up not working, so I reverted all the changes, recreated the default 404 page in the /public folder, and customised it from there, but it will now only load when visiting /404 directly, and won't display when going to another unlisted route (i.e. localhost:3000/foo). Instead I get a blank white page with "Not Found" displayed in the top left-hand corner. I thought this may have been coming from /node_modules/builtin-status-codes/browser.js where it has a list of errors including "404": "Not Found".
I've been through the code multiple times with a fine-toothed comb but I cannot figure out why it won't work in it's default settings anymore. Any help is greatly appreciated!
I've run into a bug where my website will not allow a user to click a valid hyperlink from a microsoft word document (2010, 2013 tested) and correctly go to the website.
The website is using MVC architectural patterns, so any action such as index, help, etc do not work.
Has anyone ran into this issue, if so, how was it resolved? I can't seem to find any other issues like this being listed.
It would be helpful to see the exact error message - was it "invalid browser error"? Errors like that are usually related to an issue with Internet Explorer trying and failing to handle the URL, even though it may not be your default browser.
See here and here.
I am running an instance of Umbraco 6.1.x and it has started throwing 404 on published pages.
My page structure is as follows,
Content
Home
About
Course
...
Component
Home
About
Course
Where component holds all resources and modules (HTML sections and stuff) for a page and using a partial view macro I dynamically load all components at runtime for a specific page.
We are facing an issue where we get 404 on every page after a full republish once we hit the HomePage. Before hitting home page they are all fine, but the moment we hit the homepage they are all throwing 404. By overriding the handlers I found out that they are hitting ~/umbraco/RenderMvc!
Any idea what can cause this?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
It is actually throwing:
No template exists to render the document at url '/'
considering the aforementioned scenario.
I have proper allowed template setup and property on nodes are showing the correct template associated with the respective items. Not sure why it's losing template info. I can force it to load under correct template using ?altTemplate=templateName.
Some pointers, we have a view in Views/Shared folder (apart from macro partials) tied to a surface controller.
One thing I would like to say is, we are using nested (library.RenderMacroContent with Umbraco markup) in our partial views and I have realized that the whole page throws 404 if there's a page with a link to the broken page which is broken (i.e. page got re-created and on t==e of the components is holding a link to the page with previous id). Suggestions?
did you get to the bottom of this? We're having exactly the same problem at the moment, on the same version of Umbraco.
I've noticed that when it happens, the umbraco.config becomes either corrupt or rolls back to a much, much earlier version, with all sorts of attributes missing. This lead us to believe it was a sync issue between the DB and umbraco.config.
We initially thought we had solved it by deleting App_Data > TEMP > ExamineIndex and recycling the app pool etc. Maybe give this ago, as it fixed it for a while for us, but alas, the demon has reared its ugly head once more. We are still in a full on dev stage though, so the constant changing may be complicating it further for us - perhaps it will be a fix for you.
If you have any more info, or even a fix, it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
EDIT:
Ok, I think I've solved this now, but only time will tell. Try emptying your recycle bin & then republish entire site.
I managed to consistently recreate the bug using IIS SEO site analysis. Each time I did this, the log threw up an error 'cannot find node id xyz', turns out that (and other) nodes were in the recycle bin. Upon emptying it the errors stopped. Good luck!
I have an umbraco installation that has two sites in it both with a page called Contact Us in the root. I have configured their domain names so in development I have site1.local and site2.local
if I go to site1.local/contact-us/ the page works fine but then if I try to go to second sites contact us page (site2.local/contact-us/) it just redirects me to the first sites 404 page.
Has anyone come across this problem or know how to fix it?
Check you have set up a template and assigned it to the page as you get redirected to the main 404 if no template is set. If so
I have a new SharePoint server which I've attached a content database to. The new server is configured like the old one (same deployed solutions, settings, etc) and there was no errors when we attached the content database (which is a copy of the old server's content database).
At first, it looked fine, the site on the new server was working. But then we discovered that som sites couldn't be reached, when we try, we'll get a "404 File not found" error. The strange thing is that we can clearly see the sites in Manage Content Structure but when we try to open them, we get errors.
The error only occurs for a site called "Webbplatser" and all of it's subsites. The other sites, like Sök is working just fine. I can browse all the sites under "Webbplatser" without any problem from "Manage Content and Structure". I can see the default.aspx page for all the sites but when I try to open any of them, I'll get the 404 File not found error.
Anyone recognise this error? We are using Sharepoint 2007. Please help.
Sounds like there could be some site solution missing, perhaps even custom master pages or page layouts that were added in the 12 hive on which the Webbplatser site is reliant.
Use the the url of the webbplatser site and tack on the _layouts/settings.aspx to see if you can get to the site settings and see what is set up there. Failing that I'd do a directory tree compare between your old server and the new one, focusing on the 12 hive.
