Description Susan McCourt CLA 2013-03-06 11:27:17 EST
I just created a self hosting site and when I tried to go to it, I saw this 404.

{"HttpCode":404,"Message":"File not found: /susanmccourt/org.eclipse.orion.client/bundles/org.eclipse.orion.client.users/web/navigate/table.html","Severity":"Error","Code":0}

At first I thought something was wrong with my site because it's trying to find the navigator page at bundles/org.eclipse.orion.client.users

Mark explained that it's checking all the site mappings and then showing the error on the last one it tried.

We need a better message here, maybe just mention the real URL that was being requested and show a list of the tries?  Or at least annotate that it checked all mappings.  

In the end, I was able to clear my cache and get the site to load.  So the message could also say something like, "if you know the file is present in your site, try clearing all browser caches and reloading."
