Incorrect web server (Apache or Nginx) configurations are frequent causes. Verify that the virtual host is correctly configured to point to the Odoo application. Check the `.htaccess` file (if using Apache) for errors. Ensure the `mod_wsgi` (Apache) or appropriate proxy settings (Nginx) are enabled and configured correctly to pass requests to the Odoo WSGI application. Pay attention to file permissions – the web server user needs read/write access to the Odoo data directory and necessary files. Incorrect rewrite rules can also cause issues.
