I began an endevor to start a web site just for experiementing, and submitted my site to Google Webmaster tools. When I try to get my site verified, I get this error message:
Verification status: NOT VERIFIED
We've detected that your 404 (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (Success) in the header.
I got the domain name thru godaddy.com and I had set it to redirect it to my home server ip address with 302 status code. I checked that whenever I go to a page that does or does not exist on my server, I still get this status code sent in the header:
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
I didnt see a 200 status code anywhere being returned from my server. So could it be the 302 status code that is creating the problem?? If yes, then to correct it, do I need to change the setting to 301 code in godaddy.com admin panel, or do I need to change something on my apache server??
Also, how do I make my 404 page on my apache server to return 404 status code in header??
