Figure 14-8. “Page not found” report
It is important to check this report periodically to see if site visitors are clicking links that are “broken.”
Resolving the errors listed on this page may take some investigation and analysis on your part. You’ll want
to focus on errors that have a high count, as they are likely impacting site visitors. To resolve page not found
errors, you have three basic options: ignore the errors, create a page that matches the URL that is being
reported as page not found, or create redirect rules in your .htaccess file to redirect those requests to a
valid URL.
Status Report
A general “health” report for your site can be accessed from the Reports page by clicking the “Status report”
link. Clicking this link reveals a page that highlights key areas of your Drupal installation that are of relatively
high importance (see Figure 14-9). Items that are checked when you run this report include whether critical
configuration files are protected from unauthorized changes and whether the database is up to date.
In Drupal 8, with the revised approach for installing modules, it’s unlikely that the database will become out
of date. If it is reported as out of date, run the http://localhost/core/update.php script to synchronize the
database with the current state of your modules (replacing http://localhost with the actual URL of where
your site resides).
