Redirecting to wrong 404 page

[eacwacewcawecaweacwe]

When I go to an address that doesn’t exist in my files - it redirects me to my custom 404 error page (correct behavior),
but when I go to myWebsite/index.html - it redirects me to the 404 InfinityFree page (why?)…

What i have in my files:

• index.html (so that when I go to myWebsite it will show the content)
• 404.html
• .htaccess file with:
  • ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

I don’t understand why, please help.

I looked for topics and didn’t find any similar problem, if there is one, please provide a link

Redirected to InfinityFree 404 error page

While working on your website, you may be redirected to the InfinityFree 404 error page. 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 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…

Yeah, I was there, and it wasn’t helpful at all.

What is your website?

Ok, I give up, everything seems to be working after all, I don’t know what’s going on, but when I entered via Tor, it works normally - it redirects me as I want (to my custom 404 page), and on a private computer the behavior is as I described - even after deleting cookies…
Thanks

Hi eacwacewcawecaweacwe,

@eacwacewcawecaweacwe

but when I entered via Tor, it works normally - it redirects me as I want (to my custom 404 page)

So at least from this observation, your hosting and website is working to general public.

My suspicion is that you have previously attempted to navigate to your website during the hosting setup is being configured, and during that time your browser cached the redirect to the IF page, which is not related to whatever cookie cache you have, that’s a different cache and needs to be cleared alternatively.

If you still want to proceed with solving the issue, please let us know and we’ll guide you through that process for clearing the local cache in devtools.

Cheers!

yeah,
I think my computer had something cached, now everything works perfectly.
Thanks
