Understanding Web Error Messages

The following section provides an explanation of the common errors you might encounter in your web browser as well as steps on how to resolve them on your own before contacting our technical support department.

Here are a few common Web error codes:

Web Browser Error 400 Bad Request -- Server does not recognize the URL. Double check to see that you have typed it correctly.

Web Browser Error 401 Unauthorized User -- This usually appears when you do not enter the correct ID or password to access a protected Internet site.

Web Browser Error 403 Forbidden Pages -- You are not being allowed access, for whatever reason. If you have registered with a site that requires a password, and still get this message, check to see that you have correctly typed the password.

Web Browser Error 404 Not Found -- It could be that the page you are searching for has been deleted, or its name has been changed or modified on the server. You can try deleting portions of the URL, starting at the end, and see what comes up.

Web Browser Error 415 Unsupported Media Type -- The server will not accept the request, because the media type is not supported. definition from W3Schools.com

Web Browser Error 500 Internal Error -- The server was unable to send the html document to you due to an internal (server software) error.

Web Browser Error 501 Not implemented -- This error occurs when for example, you have pressed the submit button on a form. The server replies with this error message because it does not support the feature that you have requested. This is not a common error, but typically occurs when new features or forms are implemented.

Web Browser Error 502 Service Temporarily Overloaded -- Too many people are trying to access the same site you are. You may also get the message Network connection refused by the server or too many connections. Try hitting the Reload or Refresh button; if that does not help, try the site again later.

Web Browser Error 503 Service Unavailable -- The page is there but is not accessible at the moment. Hitting Reload or Refresh a few times may solve the problem; if not, try again later.
