HTTP Server 404 error
Community Forums/Monkey Talk/HTTP Server 404 error

| I'm currently trying the last demo version of Monkey (45c). The HTTP Server correctly working but the "Build and Run" launched browser page point me to an unavailable MonkeyGame.html. Not a big deal through since I only have to drag and drop the correct build page in my browser to fix this. Does the Monkey Demo link to incorrect folder? If yes, anyway to fix that? |

| Maybe there's some confusion about port numbers. That's just a guess. I compiled an example with the full version of Monkey. It ran correctly and the Chrome tab showed localhost:63109/MonkeyGame.html. Closing the tab, leaving MServer running, then building and running again shows exactly the same thing every time. But if I shut down MServer before build/run I get a new number such as 63118. It still runs properly from the Monk IDE. EDIT: Now that I think about it there are several versions of Monkey on my PC. I sometimes get a popup message that my firewall is blocking "some features" of MServer, whatever that means. I have to click the "Allow this program..." button before it will run. Last edited 2012 |

| I just tried the 45c demo, on Windows 7, 64-bit. There was a message about MServer not having a valid digital signature to verify the publisher. But after clicking the "Allow..." button it ran successfully. |
| ||
| I allowed the program in my Firewall(even deactivate it to be sure), the Port server and URL are correct. It's really like if nothing ever exist on MServer. |

| Just for try today I run "Construct 2" a kind of game maker for HTML5. And just like Monkey, the server isn't working !? So it's probably coming from my computer but I have no clue about what's blocking the test run. I turn antivirus, firewall stuff, etc. I do have a router but since it's a localhost server I probably don't have to look at this. So don't worry about that, it's just me... |

| OK ! Found it :-) Make sure your host file contain : 127.0.0.1 localhost Mine didn't for strange reasons... I often install a large amount of network software, one probably mess with my host file. *Under Windows, the host file is located at: %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\ |
| ||
| That is very strange! My host file for Window 7 64 bit actually says "localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself." What OS are you running? |
| ||
| Very strange indeed. I'm running Window 7 32 bit up-to-date. |
| ||
| Might this be something to do with the Monkey directory or the .build directory being on a path that the server can't cope with, for example with spaces or special characters? |
| ||
| @Warpy Nope, I simply had to change my host file to fix the problem as mentioned before. |
| ||
| Looks like its a common problem with Windows 7, I found quite a few threads about it... maybe try this solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/813347/http-localhost-not-working-on-windows-7-whats-the-problem |
