404 Not Found. The page you were looking for could not be found!

Other Information

Hi all.

First I would like to clarify that I’m new to this platform and all the experience I have with building sites comes from early blogging circa 2006 (basic HTML and CSS). So if my question is simple or trivial I apologize in advance.

I’m currently building a site for personal use, just to track results from a series of events i’m the organizer. I’ve built everything from scratch with Notepad++ and some online guides, and on my local machine everything is working as intended.

However, when I upload all the files to htdocs folder and access my website, only the index page is functional. That is, if I click on the menu links I get 404’d.

I checked the 404 error documentation and everything seems to be OK from my end:

  • htaccess file has nothing blocking my site (to my knowledge, because I have not created a new one, I have only standard one);
  • All my .html files are on “htdocs” root folder, and all names are lowercase, just as are my refs on the index.html;
  • Also, if I try to access one of the menu pages directly (glctaubate.gt.tc/quadro26.html, for example), I still get 404’d, despite the page existing on the file manager.
  • The main page (index.html) works and loads correctly.

I’m also unable to attach more than 1 screencapture to help in troubleshooting this issue, so I’m posting my htdocs root folder, but if someone wants to help and need more information feel free to ask.

On my “index.html”, the menu links are maintained as follows:

<!-- Sidebar -->
<nav class="sidebar col-12 col-md-3 col-lg-2 bg-light border-end p-4">
  <h4>Temporada 2026</h4>
  <ul class="nav flex-column">
    <li class="nav-item">
      <a class="nav-link" href="quadro26.html">Quadro de Insígnias</a>
    </li>
    <li class="nav-item">
      <a class="nav-link" href="semanal26.html">Overview Semanal</a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</nav>

Also important to note that I created this domain/website today.

I seem to be able to view both pages.



Have you tried clearing your browser’s cache?

Hey, that was it.

After clearing my browser cache everything is working as intended, simples as that.

Thanks for your help.
