We have one user getting unexpected error while accessing SharePoint Site.

User can access any other sites in that web application with no issue.

I did fiddler trace and it shows that browser (any) request for favicon and it can't find it. The site is http://intranet/sites/teamB and browser requesting the favicon under root site (/favicon.ico). Since it's not there returns error 404.

I asked the user to navigate the favicon url (http://intranet/sites/teamB/_layouts/15/images/favicon.ico) directly and he gets error 404 which works fine for rest of users.

Here is Fiddler trace. Please let me know what is going on. Also if he uses different computer it works fine.

  • all other users are fine. if same user use different computer it works fine. he only has issue with this site on his laptop. I removed his permission and re-added back but no help. yes the favicon still is under 15 hive. All other users have no issue accessing site.

    the issue was with incorrect host file entry. Our networking team added entry in his host file which was pointing to old environment.
