While seraching the net or creating your own site you may get some error pages, like 404 Not Gound error or 500 Internal Server error.
In this article we'll explain the reasons for these error pages and some possible fixes.

401 Unauthorized error

This error appears when access to the URL resource requires user authentication which either has not yet been provided or has been provided but failed. This is commonly known as "HTTP Basic Authentication". 
If you get this error then it means that you are truying to access some restricted area. To correct 401 Unauthorized error you need to contact the site owner and ask him to provide you with the login info needed. In case you are the site owner then this error page can be received by your users if you have set password protection.


=='''403 Forbidden error'''==

This is the error that states you are forbidden to access this particular page. This may be caused by the wrong file permissions set.
Go to your cPanel => File Manager and check whether files have their permissions set to 644 and folders - to 755.
Alternatively your IP address has been blocked from accessing the site by the site owner. In this case you need to contact him for further actions.

=='''404 Not Found error'''==

The 404 Not Found error says for itself. It appears when you are trying to access some file or page that is not yet uploaded or has ben already removed.
To correct 404 error you need to check the exact URL and the filename. These should coincide. Also keep in mind that filenames are case-sensitive, so index.html and Index.htl are different files.

=='''500 Internal server error'''==

Internal server error may be caused by the wrong file permissions or by some rule added to your .htaccess file.
The basic fix for the Internal server error is to correct the file permissions or create a new .htaccess file in order to see whether this is the cause of 500 error.
