The requested URL /resume.html was not found on this server.

I formatted html correctly, and I am still getting an error message and I do not understand why. What's wrong please help me!

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title> Talia's Resume </title> </head> <body> <h1>resume</h1> </body> </html>

Just to doublecheck, you did the following:

  1. create a new file called resume.html
  2. inside that file (having it selected on the file list), you pasted the following code: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title> Talia's Resume </title> </head> <body> <h1>resume</h1> </body> </html>
  3. save the file
  4. click "Preview Workspace" (the eye icon)
  5. In the new browser window that popped up, you added '/resume.html' to the end of it, i.e. mine would be "http://port-80-5s9qhd2am4.treehouse-app.com" adding resume.html would be: "http://port-80-5s9qhd2am4.treehouse-app.com/resume.html"

And still it doesn't show up?

It still doesn't show up, it keeps saying 404 The requested URL /resume.html was not found on this server. I'm not sure what is going on ..

I had the same problem and it turns out for me it was because I wrote in the resume.html file "Resume" with a capital R, and in the url I wrote /resume.html with a lower case l, once I changed it to /Resume.html with a capital R it worked for me. Hope this helps.

It didn't work because you have actually forgot to save your resume.html file. Save it at first by ctrl+s and it will definitely work. Have fun with coding in TreeHouse :)

Same problem here, I didn't save before preview. Is there a way to set auto save in the workspace?

Can you take a snapshot of your work space and share the link? it's the little box / camera button adjacent from the view work spaces button.
