What 404, 403, 500, and validation errors mean and how to resolve them.
Common Error Messages
Here are the most common error messages you may encounter and what to do about each one.
404 — Not Found
The page or resource you requested does not exist. This can happen if:
- The URL was typed incorrectly
- A show or artwork was deleted
- The organization slug in the URL has changed
Fix: Double-check the URL. Navigate from the dashboard to find the correct link.
403 — Forbidden
You do not have permission to access this resource. This usually means:
- You are trying to access an admin page with a non-admin role
- You are trying to view another organization's data
- Your session may have expired
Fix: Log out and log back in. If the issue persists, contact your organization admin to verify your role.
500 — Internal Server Error
Something went wrong on the server. This is usually a temporary issue.
Fix: Wait a moment and try again. If the error persists, contact support with details about what you were doing when the error occurred.
Validation Errors
These appear as red messages below form fields (e.g., "Title is required", "Email is invalid"). They indicate that submitted data did not pass validation rules.
Fix: Review the highlighted fields, correct the data, and resubmit the form.
