SharePoint Site 404 error on Home
We have created a modest SharePoint site that has been working for some time. All of a sudden when you go into SharePoint directly to your home screen and click on the link to go to the site in question, you get a 404 error. I went back in through MS Teams to get to the site so that I could get to the files. I reconnected the navigation link to the link for the home once I found it in site contents and it worked for a little while. It seems to work if I access SharePoint through Teams, but not SharePoint directly. If I go directly to SharePoint, I get the 404 error again. We don't seem to have anyone that can figure this out. I got this far on my own. Is there anyway that as a user I can fix this or is this something that has to be fixed on the back end? Starting over is not an option. Too many files within the site. Any help would be appreciated!
Hi Sue12 , I am not sure if this applies to your case, but it’s possible that the page assigned as the SharePoint site homepage has been deleted. However, you should still be able to access specific areas of your site. For example, check these links:
Site content page:
https://<YourTenantName>.sharepoint.com/sites/<YourSiteName>/_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx
SIte pages :
https://.sharepoint.com/sites//SitePages/Forms/ByAuthor.aspx
Default documents:
https://.sharepoint.com/sites//Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx
I hope that this was the issue in your case, and if so, you can set any page from the Site Pages as the homepage using this command ->
