404 error

Error: Not Found

The requested URL / was not found on this server.

404 error

I don't know how to begin dealing with this error. I am trying to view a static website and it works fine on my machine, Windows 10. 

My app. yaml file is:

runtime: python27

api_version: 1

threadsafe: true

handlers:

- url: /

  static_files: www/index.html

  upload: www/index.html

- url: /(.*)

  static_files: www/\1

  upload: www/(.*)

Hello William, 

Error 404 notFound indicates that either there is no API method associated with the URL path of the request, or the request refers to one or more resources that were not found.

You need to configure your app with app.yaml, to take into consideration the directory where your static files are stored. For reference, and examples, you may have a look at the "Serving Static Files" documentation page. In this example, the directory in question is called "bootstrap". Page "Serving Static Files" for Standard Environment also holds valuable information.

Thank you for your response, I am a writer and I am floundering through this. I tried to create Christmas presents that were web programs and completely failed because I couldn't figure out google app engine. I am following your instructions.

Hey,

If you are trying to get familiar Google App Engine, I would like to point you at some great resources and tutorials here.  Im not sure which environment you are working within as the link I provided is for Google App Engine: standard environment. However, they are tutorials offered for both Google App Engine: standard and Google App Engine: flexible environment. Regardless, it would be my recommendation to check the "Hello World tutorial" section out as this tutorial provides a guided walkthrough of creating and deploying a sample app on the Google Cloud Platform which will help you get familiar with the interface as well. 

I hope this message finds you well and that you have a fantastic day.

Cheers,

Harmit

Hi Madhukar,

It seems the screenshot you have attached does not correlate with the description you have provided. Are you receiving a 404 page error on the [PROJECT-ID].appspot.com url for your Google App Engine project? 

Also, I noticed that the screenshot you have provided has some data that maybe considered sensitive. As this is a public forum, It would be my recommendation to redact information from your project such as: Project-id, database names, etc.

Cheers,

Harmit
