1. 404 Not Found :-

The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. This is typically because the requested resource no longer exists or has been moved, but can in rare cases allude to other issues such as missing handlers. If you are seeing this error when expecting to see content, you should first check to see if the specified resource exists (pages in your CMS, images in the correct path/directory, etc). If the resources seem to be in place correctly, it is recommended to contact support for further investigation.

2. 503 Service Unavailable :-

The server is currently unavailable. This HTTP Status Code is almost always because the application pool or website is turned off in the web server (IIS, for example). In our environment this could be due to an issue with the site itself, or more commonly due to the site being suspended. Check the following items, and if an issue persists contact the Support team for assistance.

404 Error is an HTTP Response Status Code which means ‘The resource at the requested location could not be found.'

The 503 Service Unavailable error is an HTTP Status code that means the web site's server is simply not available right now.

404 error is page not found error, it means that page is not available on server while 503 error is service unavailable, which means that request page is available but there is problem with server itself.

A 404 error is an HTTP status code that means that the page you were trying to reach on a website couldn't be found on their server. The 404 Not Found error might appear for several reasons even though no real issue exists, so sometimes a simple refresh will often load the page you were looking for. The most common method is to retry the web page by pressing F5, clicking the refresh/reload button, or trying the URL from the address bar again.

The 503 Service Unavailable error is an HTTP status code that means the web site's server is simply not available right now.

The 404 error message is shown when a site or folder on a server are requested but cannot be found at the given URL. Please check your input.


The 503 service unavailable message means that the website origin server is not available and is usually a temporary state. This error could be triggered because something running on the website server side has crashed or your site is purposefully down for maintenance.
