Link is correct, Content exist, but Return Soft 404

Post by phidias81 » Fri Mar 06, 2015 12:32 pm

Hello, according to google webmaster tools, I have a lot of soft 404 errors. In example this page
http://www.nomadtravellers.com/backpack ... e-giveaway

The point is that the link is correct, The content is published, it was previously working and I haven't changed anything. Actually it's still possible to correctly see the article from the category

http://www.nomadtravellers.com/backpack ... ravel-gear

So I don't get why it's not showing in the article view. How to fix this problem?

Apart from this article, all of the other 95 errors, are related to phocagallery, so I might ask in their specific forum. Thank you

The error that you see on that page is not a 404 error, but this error:

"2 - Can't create file"

It seems that you are running into a permission issue or you are out of space on your hosting account.

Note: A soft 404 is when the page doesn't return a 404 code (as described in our post here: http://www.itoctopus.com/the-right-way- ... -in-joomla ) but Google thinks that the page is actually a generic 404 page.

It's listed in the soft 404 errors of GWT. Space is not missing, joomla permissions are as every other article
