FAQs


404 - File not found

A 404 error indicates that the requested web page/file does not exist.

  • Possible Causes
    • The requested web page/file no longer exists because it was moved, renamed, or deleted.
    • The underlying syntax of the hyperlink was invalid/incorrect. (e.g. https://app.procore.com/87654/project/rfi/showww/123456)
  • Possible Resolutions
    • Check your link to make sure that it has the correct formatting. A common mistake is that a link might be malformed or accidentally truncated. (e.g. https://app.procore.com/87654/project/rfi/sho) or   ttps\\app.procore.com/87654/project/rfi/show)
    • Try to access the same web page/file that you were unable to view using a different browser or device. If you are still not able to see the file, try clearing your web browser's cache and restarting your browser. If you are not able to see the file, there may be an issue on Procore's frontend/backend IT infrastructure. Please be patient while our engineering team troubleshoots and resolves the problem.

(In rare cases, you may receive an unformatted 404 error message, as shown above.)

  • Possible Causes
    • Procore is currently experiencing technical difficulties. Our Engineering teams are working hard to restore the site and all related services as soon possible. You can check the status of our site in real-time (http://status.procore.com) as well as sign-up to receive a notification (via email, SMS text message, RSS, etc.) as soon as all systems have been restored. 

408 - Request Timeout

The 408 (Request Timeout) status code indicates that the server was unable to process the request within established time constraints.

  • Possible Causes
    • You will receive this error message if you are attempting to upload an excessively large file.
    • A large batch operation using the Procore API can result in this error.
  • Possible Resolutions
    • Reduce the size of your file prior to uploading it to Procore. For example, if your are uploading a large photo, try reducing the resolution to achieve a smaller file size.
    • If feasible, break your file up into two or more parts and upload each portion separately.
    • If you are running a large batch operation using the Procore API, break up the operation into multiple, smaller steps.

 

422 - Bad Request

The 422 (Bad Request) status code indicates that the server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error (e.g. malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing). As a temporary workaround, try using a different web browser (e.g. Google Chrome, Firefox, etc.).

  • Possible Causes
    • An unexpected condition occurred. 
  • Possible Resolutions
    • If the cause is not on the server-side (i.e. Procore's responsibility to resolve), you may be able to resolve the problem on your own by:  

Account Locked

You have tried to log in to Procore three times unsuccessfully and see a message that your account has been locked.

If the Procore account for the company you are attempting to log in to enforces a lockout policy, you will be locked out of your account after three failed login attempts. To unlock your account, you will need to reset your password or contact the company's Procore account administrator to have them unlock your account. See How do I reset an unknown password? and Unlock a User Account in the Company Directory.

Scheduled Maintenance

Unfortunately, there are always circumstances that require a website to become temporarily unavailable to its end users so that certain types of updates, fixes, and system upgrades can be safely performed. Although Procore makes every effort to perform these maintenance windows during off-peak hours and limit the actual downtime as much as possible, we understand that any type of interruption of service is disruptive and frustrating to our end users. Procore takes a proactive approach by serving notification warnings within our web application in advance of a scheduled maintenance window (~7 days) to give a fair warning to users. Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience related to an interruption of service. 

404-error.png

  • Possible Causes
    • Procore scheduled a designated maintenance period that requires the entire web application to be temporarily made unavailable for a predefined amount of time in order to perform important system upgrades.
  • Possible Resolutions
    • Please be patient during this temporary interruption of service. Procore will be back online shortly! Check http://status.procore.com/ for real-time updates.

Permission Denied

You clicked a link and received a "Permission denied, sorry" error message.

  • Possible Causes
    • You no longer have permission to view the web page/file. For example, if you have 'Read-only' permissions on a project's Documents tool and are trying to download a file that is only visible to 'Admin' users, you will receive the permission denied error message.
  • Possible Resolutions
    • Contact the project's Procore administrator (e.g. Project Manager) to request access to the web page/file. 

Website Under Heavy Load

During an active user session on https://app.procore.com, you received the following error message, "This website is under heavy load."

  • Possible Causes
    • This is a server side warning message. 
  • Possible Resolutions
    • Refreshing the web page or clicking the link/button again after waiting 5-10 seconds should yield the expected page results.
