Subject: "File not Found" when hosting kml on Google Pages
Last week I created a kml file and uploaded it to Google Pages. I then
entered the URL into the "Search" box on maps.google.com, and the kml
file loaded into the resulting map perfectly. This link is a cropped
screencap of what I saw last week:

http://deathonacracker.googlepages.com/youdancemap.jpg

I emailed a link to the map (testing it first) to several people.

Today, the link I emailed around my company isn't working; Google Maps
returns a "File Not Found" error. A link to the error is here:

http://tinyurl.com/3xgzyv (tinied for convenience)

The kml file, which loads fine in Google Earth, is hosted here. I
tightened up the file slightly from the version that failed to load
this morning (and loaded last week just fine), thinking that might fix
it, so it's not the *exact* same file I had success with last week:

http://deathonacracker.googlepages.com/schlmap.kml

I thought I might be hitting the ~60 item limit I read about online
(though obviously I hadn't last week), so I created a test file with
fewer placemarks, hosted here:

http://deathonacracker.googlepages.com/mapsml.kml

Same problem. I've done a webtrawl and struck out. I'd really
appreciate any help with this problem.

Thanks in advance!

It's currently working perfectly for me in FF2 and MSIE6.

Subject: Re: "File not Found" when hosting kml on Google Pages
Thanks for trying it out, Mike. It's very puzzling -- I'm still
getting the error on FF2 (.0.0.9) and IE on WinNT SP4. I've had a
friend in a different Canadian city try and he's gotten the error
message too. I'm completely stumped. I'm going to see if Google Maps
can load the file if I host it on another free hosting service, but
apart from that...I've got nothing. Any ideas for other things I could
try experimenting with?

Here's the full error text that shows up in the left-hand pane:

"File not found at http://deathonacracker.goog....

Suggestions:

    * Make sure the URL is spelled correctly.
    * Make sure the file exists.

http://deathonacracker.goog... could not be displayed because it
contains errors.

Perhaps you simply went over the bandwidth limit (I think 100Mb daily)
on google pages - Google Maps would simply report that as a not found,
although you would hope the caching at Maps would not do that, or it
could be inteligent enough to work between services.

(it works for me at the moment too)

This is the same problem that I am having.  It has not changed with
the passage of a day, so it can't be a bandwidth problem.  I am at a
loss as well.

Thanks for trying, Barry...still no dice. The largest file I've worked
with is 9Kb, so I can't imagine I've hit the 100Mb cap.

It's incredibly frustrating that this seems to be working for you and
Mike. Do you mind if I ask you both for some information about your
location/tech specs so I can try to find a common thread?

Oops...apparently Pamela in the GGeoXML problems thread is reporting
that Google's GGeoXML servers are having problems, and that this is
probably the cause. Nelsong, have you read that thread?

http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_thread/thread/f...

Might be a good idea to check in and post a link to your original
thread.

Subject: Re: "File not Found" when hosting kml on Google Pages
Sorry but this problem is not resolved.  I'm having exactly the same
problem with dozens of KML files that have been working up until
today.

E.g.http://shipwatcher.com/GBQM.kml is a fairly simple file showing
the current location of a well known ship.  It works well in Google
Earth, it worked fine yesterday.  But now it doesn't work in Google
maps at all.

I understand it's a problem with Google's servers.  I can't move the
KML files elsewhere - they're dynamically updated every hour. (Ships
don't stand still :) ).

Would someone please tell me whereabouts in google groups I can
monitor to know when this problem is fixed?

Thanks.

I confirm issue is not fixed, My kml files also are not appearing when
they previosly did.

My kml file is also dynamic... It is generated using a Java servlet.

example url for servlet is http://data.aims.gov.au/voyagetracker/kml?trip=4510&type=text/xml

Many Thanks

I have the same problem with some kml loading
I have a dynamic php script that generate .kml files.
Under this weekend this has become very shaky, nothing on my side has
been changed.
The GGeoXML respond but only show it on the map randomly, it works
good in googleearth.
And it worked good last week.

You can test drive it on
www.snowbull.com and www.riderguru.com

Yours Sincerely

Sorry I appear to be jumping in to this discussion a little late but I
am still having trouble with accessing my KML/KMZ files with Google
Maps.  I was able to access them a week ago but no luck over the last
couple of days.  The only difference that I can see between the other
posts in this thread and mine is that I am testing my code locally
(http://localhost) and accessing the kml files through
googlepages.com.

any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Both pages have the same code, copied from one of the Google maps

Hi JV--

Your problem is that your API key for horse607.googlepages.com is not
correct. Sign up for one that matches that domain. (The GGeoXML does a key
check on google pages separately from the initial script check).

Hello,

We are having the same problem with all of our KML files. This one,
for example:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://www.menorcaweb.com/mapa-de-menor...
worked fine until a couple of days ago, and it still works fine if you
open the file
with Google Earth http://www.menorcaweb.com/mapa-de-menorca/mao/kml/
(our html based page also works fine http://www.menorcaweb.com/mapa-menorca/mao/
)

In fact, If I download the same "mao" file and uploaded it again to a
different location such as
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://www.balearweb.com/mao.kml it also
works fine.

Thank you for your help.

That does appear to be the same problem, or atleast a different problem
manifesting in the same way.
I've let the team know that your file is still having issues.

Dear Pamela,

Thank you for your feedback. Are there any news about this issue?

I just noticed that the link I posted here that was having problems
now works.
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://www.menorcaweb.com/mapa-de-menor...

But none of the other links on our website work. It is really strange,
because they all use exactly the same system: web server, codding...

For example, the following one is exactly the same as the previous one
(which works), the only difference is the language (this one uses
Enlgish), and it does not work.
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://www.menorcaweb.com/map-menorca/m...

Neither do this other ones:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://www.menorcaweb.com/mapa-de-menor...
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://www.menorcaweb.com/mapa-de-menor...
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://www.mallorcaweb.com/map-mallorca...

Thank you very much for your help.
