Hi all !

Trying to publish a new site but getting a “404 Not Found” error.

I’ve checked with my host and they said no issues on their end. DNS config is good and propagated.

Test and browse both work in Elements’ Publishing Setup.

The project files do publish to the correct folder.

I’ve even tried manually uploading it to the host folder.

I’ve tried both PHP and HTML.

Here is the site: [https://bilingualmc.ca](https://bilingualmc.ca)

And here is the project file in Elements Cloud:

[elementsapp://downloadDocument/ZzIfmxzlzHcN](elementsapp://downloadDocument/ZzIfmxzlzHcN)

Hoping I’m just missing something really simple…

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Mike

I’m in the same boat. I can’t publish, but I could earlier.

Just as a point in the dataset, I was able to publish successfully with 2.1.2 yesterday afternoon.

I also occasionally see the fail to export when first publishing. Sometimes it works the second time, and sometimes I have to quit and restart Elements. I haven’t found a pattern yet.

I restarted, and it’s working.

UPDATE: My host deleted, then re-added the domain and got it working!

Why is this stuff like voodoo?! LOL

Thanks to all who chimed in.

Now to work out the bugs with the Essentials contact form! 😛
