Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found.

Few Days before, in our project, we faced one issue while browsing the site. Don’t know, what gone wrong but got error message as mentioned below:-

Server Error in '/' Application.
HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly
The resource cannot be found.

Even if you have activated the possibility to see errors and trace in SharePoint (Web application web.config --> callstack="true", customerror="off", debug="true") you won't have a precise indication of what ressource is missing.

How to troubleshoot this error message? Here is the answer...
There are two ways by which you can resolve this error message:-

Method: 1
Just right click your page and choose "view source"

Method: 2
Under the root path in IIS configuration, under "Home Directory"under the field "local path". "c:\inetpub\mywebsite\" is not the same as "c:\inetpub\mywebsite" apparently now.

My site came back alive as soon as I removed the trailing backslash so that the path now says "c:\inetpub\mywebsite"

If you have any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know. I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, Thank you.
