> While working on your website, you may be redirected to the [InfinityFree 404 error page](https://infinityfree.net/errors/404/). This article explains why this typically happens and what you can do to fix this. Why do I get a 404 error When you try to access a file on a website, the server tries to find the matching file to load. By default, it works like this. Suppose you have a website [http://example.com](http://example.com) which is linked to the folder htdocs in your hosting account. If you then try to load a certain URL, like [http://example.com/blo…](http://example.com/blog/images/gallery/photo.jpg)

I have tried following that guide before, I have my files in the htdocs folder, but that is in a parent folder called meals.000.pe, which I named after looking at another forum post saying for the file to be named the domain name. However I don’t know if this is an issue but there is no file called index.html or index.php for the website

That can be an issue, if you have not configured your `DirectoryIndex` properly to look for a different file, the server automatically looks for the files you mentioned, and if it can’t find them, it redirects you to the 403 page. The steps to fix this are mentioned in the article linked above.
