I have an aspx page inside the layouts folder in sharepoint 2013 and I am trying to access that page from a webpart by providing the url. However, I am getting a 404 - page not found error. But when the file, I can see, physically exists in that location.

Well, based on error 404 - the URL formed is pointing to a location where the folder is not present.

Make sure that the URL is actually pointing to the same location where you expect it too. Relative URL's at times are little tricky.

Hi Sandeep,
Thank you for the quick response. But even when I am browsing the page from the IIS , I am getting the same 404 error.
