Help please: Can't open my webpage

[bucks331]

Okay. So I've been learning and playing around with my website. I was using wordpress and was trying to edit some stuff under the Settings> General, and when I saved it... Boom! I can't access my website nor the wordpress admin page. I logged on to my cpanel and found this error log>>> File does not exist: /home/bucks331/public_html/favicon.ico

Sorry, newbie here,

I don't think that there is some options in wordpress which can make your blog act like this. And also absence of favicon.ico file doesn't affect the loading of your blog. It may be due to server migration.

That error is a red herring -- favicon.ico is optional, and has no bearing on whether or not you page will open. The chances are better than even that no code on your site references favicon.ico either -- the browser simply requests it for bookmarking as a matter of course. (When code changes the bookmark icon, it usually references a different image in a <link ref="favicon"> tag.) Your problem lies elsewhere, I'm afraid.

Hi Priya and Esselar. Thanks for your prompt replies. I tried refreshing the page just now and I'm able to open it. I figured it out that that was because of the pending request for domain change. :smile: I changed my url to www instead of a non www
