this type of error occur mostly when you try viewing an index page that does not exist so why don't try typing "/index.htm" or "/index.html" at the end of your url and see the kind of error it returns? then you can know where to attack.shalom shalom

look for the error log of that request on the server and post it here, it helps to diagnose the problem
