The file isn't there
The file has the wrong permissions

[/RIGHT]
Not much else generates a 404 error, which should be covered well in your class.

If 'they' are telling you this, ask 'them' what they're talking about. What URL are you typing in to get the 404 error?

i got the problem solved. there was a little problem in the organisation of the files within my application..
