How do i resolve Server Error 500 Question Question
FTP Not Working Question Question

Question

Had setup LAMP server, my application is supposed to receive request from a server in Kenya. But it gives 404 error on the other side

Posted July 24, 2017 2.2k views

Had setup LAMP server on Ubuntu 16.04, my application is supposed to receive request from a server in Kenya. Whenever the server in Kenya sends request at my sever, then I don’t receive any request and on their side they get error:
404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Can anyone help what is the reason?

Hi @dragonSam

Most likely address they are using in Kenya is wrong. Check the full address again and paste it again in the Kenya server.

If you’re using a domain, then make sure there is no hosts changes.
Run ping yourdomain.com on your computer and on the Kenya server. IP should be the same.

If there’s a login system, then that could be causing the issue. Try visiting the address with a browser in incognito mode.

    You’re getting a response from a different server. I don’t know what you’re running on the server in Kenya, but I can see it’s a Windows Server replying (Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5), which is definitely not the same as your droplet running Apache.

    If you just use a regular browser (Chrome) on the server in Kenya, which website shows up if you visit http://104.131.77.15 or http://www.topladylingerie.co.ke/ ?

Hi @hansen

I appreciate that you took time to reply. I tried what you have suggested, but still issue not resolved.
I forgot to provide the error which is generated on Kenya server. Have a look, might help in getting things clear.

Here is error and the response Kenya server is receiving:

As per additional info: I am using Ubuntu 16.04 32-bit.

And is there any role of firewall on my OS which might be letting such issue?

Hello @hansen

well i have installed the certs, but the company in Kenya required to verify the “http” requests first then it will move to “https”.
I have also created a support ticket support ticket for the same, but it seems that support reply comes on a particular time only.

I can say that I was able to receive some of the requests on my end, but every request. As you already have provide much of the information, can you suggest anything else which can help to end this once and for all.

Thank You

<1004 tbroker [sag] :/home/sag>curl https://topladylingerie.co.ke
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
 of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). The default
 bundle is named curl-ca-bundle.crt; you can specify an alternate file
 using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
 the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
 problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
 not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
 the -k (or --insecure) option.

But when I ran these commands on some other server then I got the response showing content of the homepage of the website.

What might be the reason for this?
