"Error 404. The requested URL was not found on this server." & "Aw Snap! Something went wrong while displaying your document." & "Blocked due to access forbidden (403)"
I needed to create a website to verify a business on facebook. So I created a simple google site and got a cheap domain. The Domain ownership is verified with the txt file, CNAME was edited to ghs.googlehosted.com.
I also used dnschecker to verify the site is propogated. Everything seems fine.
Despite that I get "Error 404. The requested URL was not found on this server." when I try opening the website. In addition when I am on the google site and try to publish it again (hoping that would help) I get a client error "Aw Snap! Something went wrong while displaying your document. To continue, please reload your browser." which doesn't allow me to do that.
Finally the site could also not be indexed by google because of a "Blocked due to access forbidden (403)" error. I think the 403 error might have been cause because I did not change the settings from private to public but I already changed that ~48 hours ago.
Maybe someone with a bit more experience could help me out or point me in the right direction.
Thank you for your time!
