Page not found - but it shows in the side bar

[Robert Tietze]

Recently I noticed that we have a few sites which are not accessible anymore, it always shows the 404 message. These sites were heavily used befor and now nobody can view them anymore. Any ideas suggestions what could be wrong?

[Robert Tietze]

For some reason the page appeared now again. Problem now is, that all attachments are unknown.

When I checked in the site history the last user edit (two weeks ago) was deleting all pictures and adding the "new" ones. Somebody any thoughts on this?

[Thomas Schlegel]

are you able to restore the old version of the page (before the change two weeks ago) via page history?

[Robert Tietze]

It took a while, but it seems to be back to normal again.

[Thomas Schlegel]

That's good. Maybe there was some kind of indexing problem and reindexing was triggered by opening the page. I hope, this was a one-time problem.

[Robert Tietze]

me too ;)

Hi Robert, 

have a look at the recycle bin of your space, maybe you can find them there.

What is the url of the 404 page? If you see a pageID there, you can try to edit the page.

Change 

<confluence-url>/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=123456

to 

<confluence-url>/pages/editpage.action?pageId=123456

Hi @Thomas Schlegel,

I just tried to enter your first suggestion viewpage.action with the page-id and now I have a flickering confluence logo :(

[Thomas Schlegel]

what do you mean by "flickering confluence logo"?

[Robert Tietze]

[Robert Tietze]

the yellow marked logo keeps on flickering and loading, but nothing happens

[Thomas Schlegel]

ok, what happens, if you try:

https://<your-confluence-url>.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/<space-key>/pages/edit/12320769

[Robert Tietze]

this worked

hi @Robert Tietze, 

It might be a permission issue as mentioned in answered similar community question.

 you may want to verify for the page restrictions. 

hope this helps :-)

I checked that already, thanks anyway.
