<p>Apache access log only indicates "404."</p>
<p>Nothing in the Apache error log for today.</p>
<p>It's probably one of those mysteries I have to live with.</p>
<p>Thanks anyway.<br>

<p>It's not permissions. Nearly all are 777 for some reason
and the inconsistent behavior also happens with the few
that are 553 or 533.</p>
<p>It's not ownership. All are owned by "Me."</p>
<p>Web-server is clearly listening on localhost. Is there
any reason it would have to listen on 127.0.0.1 for just
certain files (which are coded exactly like the others)?
How would subnet restrictions or re-writes affect some of
the files in /var/www/html but not others?</p>
<p>In any case, why would opening them from the file
directory then make it possible to open from the
webbrowser?<br>

<p>I've got a new computer with Ubuntu 20.04. <br>
</p>
<p>Some of the files in my /var/www/html directory
behave funny. Many open fine in response to
localhost/file.html or to
localhost/ericbeversluis, where ericbeversluis is,
eg, a WP site on my computer.</p>
<p>But some of the individual files behave
strangely. When I try to open them I get a 404,
"Requested URL was not found on this server." <br>
</p>
<p>I can't tell any difference between those that
open and those that don't. To further confuse me,
when I click on the file in the file browser, they
open nicely in Firefox--as <a>file:///var/www/html/file.html</a>.
After that happens some then open nicely in
response to localhost/file.html.</p>
<p>Many of the file have traveled from an old Fedora
box to the webserver on a Macbook Pro to this new
box. But that history doesn't seem to correlate
with the different behaviors.<br>
</p>
<p>Any insight into what's going on here?<br>
