Google webmaster tools - verify problem?
I try to verify my site but I have problem
I upload html document that that google needs.
Verification status: NOT VERIFIED
We've detected that your 404 (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (Success) in the header.

yeah try the meta tags one, just go into your source code, copy and paste the meta tag into the code where Google tells you.
I spent hours trying to use the html way and did it in 2 mins with the meta tags.
You should try using the meta tags a lot easier and a trained monkey could do this :). That should spead it up a bit
I think there is another problem here, not in the html verification file itself.
Did you create custom errorpages on your webserver? There might be a problem with those, returning the wrong statusses.
