Sample error responses
If an error occurs when you call an operation, no result data is returned. You can troubleshoot the error based on operation-specific error codes and common error codes. If an error occurs during a call, an HTTP status code 4xx or 5xx is returned. The returned response body contains the specific error code and error message. The response body also contains the RequestId parameter that indicates the globally unique request ID and the HostId parameter that indicates the ID of the site that you requested.
If you cannot identify the cause of the error, you can contact the Alibaba Cloud customer service staff and provide the values of the returned HostId and RequestId parameters to help the staff resolve the error.
