Hello Magento geeks,

In the last tutorial, we have learned How to Restrict Other Countries for Shipping in Magento 2,

Today, I am back again with a new tutorial, and this time I will explain to you how you can resolve 404 error-page not found for admin in Magento 2.

Magento is one of the leading eCommerce platforms used by many businesses worldwide. And if you also have chosen Magento for your Business, then you are on the right path. If you are new or an experienced person who has been using Magento 2, then you would know that you have to perform lots of tasks from the admin panel.

After you have set up the new Magento 2 store, there are chances you might face the issue of admin 404 error, or after any security or any third-party extension can cause your admin login page inaccessible with 404 error page.

In this tutorial, I am going to explain how you can resolve the 404 error-page not found with all the possible solutions in Magento 2 admin. Below is the list of solutions you can apply to your Magento 2 store.

     1. Flush and Clear Magento Cache by Command line or removing folders manually.

php bin/magento cache:clean

rm -rf var/cache/*

rm -rf var/generation/*

Or you can manually delete the cache and generate a folder inside a var folder from Cpanel.

      2. Enable Rewrite mode,

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Configure apache.

For Ubuntu / Debian edit the file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. To edit this file run command

sudo vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Modify from:

<Directory /var/www/>
	     Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
	     AllowOverride None
	     Require all granted
	</Directory>

to

<Directory /var/www/>
	    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
	    AllowOverride All
	    Require all granted
	</Directory>

Then restart apache

sudo service apache2 restart

or

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

or

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Then, if you’d like, you can use the following .htaccess file.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

      3. htaccess file in the root

Try uploading default .htaccess file in the root of your Magento installation.

      4. Check the admin URL from the env.php file.

Go to app/etc/env.php open that file

And look for the admin URL, code must be like below

You can see/change admin URL from @app/etc/env.php

return array (
'backend' =>
array (
'frontName' => 'admin_q76xvk',
),

The highlighted one is the admin URL. Make sure you are typing the correct admin URL.

     5. For local environment sometimes URL issue like

During Setup you can replace the URL i.e., http://localhost/ with http://127.0.0.1/

    6. Try these steps
