404 And 301 Http Error Codes

[chadf]

My AWSTATS report for this month shows 121 of the 404(Doc Not Found) and 91 of the 301(Moved Permanently) error codes.

 

I have gone through my site page by page and can't find any broken links. Is this typical to have so many errors?

 

And I have no idea what the 301s are. I am not redirecting anything on my site, unless my Gallery script is doing something I'm not aware of.

Hi,

 

301s are normally found within the htaccess file although a few might exist elsewhere. You have an error log which you should be able to work out where the 404s are coming from

 

Thanks

IN AWStats, you can click on the "404" down in the Errors section and it will show an exact list of the requests that generated the "Not Found" error.

 

This may help track down the offenders.

 

On my site, the top offender is /img-sys/mm-icon.png, which I assume is from a missing icon on the mailman (mailing list) page.

 

It depends on how much traffic your site has as to whether you are experiencing "a lot" of errors.

 

Don't know about the 301s, though.

 

HTH,

Dave

Almost all of my 404 errors seem to be image files used by my Gallery script. And it looks like Gallery is also using mod rewrites in the .htaccess file.

 

So it seems that Gallery is causing all of my problems, but the weird thing is that I never have any problems when I browse the site and no one has ever reported any problems to me.

 

I don't have heavy traffic - it's just a family website - which is why I thought the number of errors seemed excessive. Maybe I should just not worry about it.

If they are YOUR pictures, then further investigation is probably warranted.

 

But if they are just Gallery icons and stuff, and the site looks OK to you, then there is no need to worry.
