Interpreting the error message when browsing the Web Page

The following is a reference clip: This article is reproduced from http://duduwolf.winzheng.com/post/2.asp

When surfing the Internet, the web page may often fail to be opened. These English prompts make beginners confused. I believe you will understand these error prompts after reading this article.

401 unauthorized

This indicates that you must have a correct user name and password to obtain the permission to use the website of the other party (unauthorized site). For example, this information appears when you browse some paid web pages.

403 Forbidden

It may be because you have not registered on the website of the other party. Generally, you can register on the Internet in real time, but some websites that are completely "closed" will generate the above information.

404 not found

The most common error message is that your WWW browser cannot find the file you want (that is, the webpage). The file may be moved somewhere else, or it does not exist at all.

409 fire flood and pestilence

Meaningless. Solution: reconnect.

500 Server Error

This information is usually generated by the program design error of the other party's webpage. Wait until the other party's webpage is corrected.

503 service unavailable

This information indicates that the website cannot be connected to the other party because the network is busy. Try again later (for example, in three minutes.

An unexpected web error occurred

This error message can indicate any information between "not found" and "forbidden" without any detailed explanation. The best solution is to browse other web pages.

Bad file request

You may have entered incorrect information when filling out some forms on the other party's webpage, resulting in an error when processing the materials, at this time, the only thing you can do is to press the "back" key to modify it!

Cannot add form submission result to bookmark list

Permanent files that are not stored for a long time. For example, the search results "URLs" listed by some Web search engines cannot be stored on favorites, this error message is returned if you try to remember this URL to your favorites. If a record is required, use the SAVE Function to save the webpage.

Connection refused by host

Another information similar to "403 Forbidden" is caused by problems with Website user registration.

Failed DNS Lookup

The URL location entered by the user cannot be translated into an IP address. This error is usually caused by the heavy load on the website, which usually occurs on a commercial website.

File contains no data

This information is very interesting. It indicates that your browser has found the desired file, but this file does not contain any information, which is sometimes caused by an error in the last part of the URL you typed.

Helper application not found

If you want to view some files that require "helper application", this information may pop up in the browser, which means that a specified auxiliary software cannot be found. In IE, you only need to set the appropriate auxiliary software in Internet Options/programs; in Netscape Navigator, you need to set the appropriate helper file path and name in option/preference/helpers.

NNTP server error

If your web browser cannot find the newsgroup server, this information will pop up. The reason may be that the server is disabled or the user has entered an incorrect server name. In Netscape, check whether the news server name in option/mail and news preference is incorrect. This error does not occur during ie browsing.

Not found

This information indicates that the webpage you are looking for does not exist. It may be because the user entered the wrong URL. If the entered URL is correct but cannot be connected, it indicates that the URL may have been moved to another place.

Site unavailable

There are four possibilities for this prompt:

1. Too many users
2. The website is closed for repair.
3. The telephone line is too noisy.
4. The website no longer exists

TCP error encountered while sending request to server

When some "bad" data (that is, some invalid or incomplete data) is transmitted over the network, a TCP (Transfer Control Protocol) error occurs, you can try to connect to the webpage later or report the error to your network company.

Too Login User

This indicates that the website is saturated and cannot accept more users. The only way is to try again later.

Unable to create host

This indicates that the URL you entered or other URLs cannot find the desired target location. It may be because you typed a wrong word, or the URL does not exist (for a short term or long term ), it may also be a problem with your dial-up connection.

Please enter username and password

Indicates that the website can be accessed only with the user name and password. The solution is to enter a valid user name and password.

Connection refused by host

The connection is rejected. The solution is to try again later.

Failed DNS Lookup

Indicates domain name resolution error. Solution: Check whether the URL is entered correctly.

Document contains no data

Indicates that the webpage exists, but there is no data. Solution: Try again later.

The location is not recognized

Indicates that the URL address has an error. The solution is to check the URL address.

The server does not have a DNS entry

Indicates that the URL address does not exist or the address is incorrect. Solution: Check the URL address.

Netscape is out memory

Indicates memory overflow, which is not caused by IE browsing. Solution: restart the Netscape Browser.

Connection refused

Indicates that the line is busy. Solution: Try again later.

A network error occured

Indicates that the host is busy or the URL address is incorrect. The solution is to check the URL address or try again later.
