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)
