"HTTP 404 File not found" for file downloads

[Uma Jeyachandran]

Hi

I have an application in appspot.com. When I attempting any file
download using <a> tag in html, it throws file not found error.

Please suggest solution.

Thank you

Hi

The URL in your <a> tag needs to point to either a handler or a static resource.

If your getting a 404 then the URL is incorrect and does not map to either of these.

Hi

 

Thanks for your reply. The <a> tag points to the correct document. And I have the document in the same folder as that of other html files.

 

The code is as follows

 

 

<a href='../ApplicationForm.doc' style='text-decoration: none' target='_blank'>
    Admission Form

<br><img  width=30% height=30% src="../download_button.png">
    </a>

 

But when I am trying to open an image using the same code above, the browser opens the image. But it doesnt open any word or text document.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards

Hi Uma Jeyachandran:

you should upload it as static file,this error because this file is considered in the local host and GAE doesn't find it, you should configure app.yaml and specify this 

file in it , see this link for app.yaml configuration https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/appconfig, you can go to the log for this application to see the error description.

Many thanks for your solution. It worked after configuring app.yaml.

 

Thanks & Regards
