I. Causes of error 404 on aaPanel

The common causes that will lead to error 404 on aaPanel are known:

• Case 1: The path or file does not exist.
• Case 2: There is no .htaccess file, so the subsites get an error 404 (the home page is still accessible)
• Case 3: There is a .htaccess file, but URL Rewrite is not enabled, so the subsites still get an error 404 (the homepage is still accessible)

In this article, AZDIGI will show you how to fix error 404 on aaPanel in case 3. Because the other two cases are relatively basic and you rarely have to meet. And case 3, you will often encounter this when you just added a new website and uploaded data.
