As the client'server is not returning a 404 we placed the meta tag in the home page as in many cases before. But with this site it is not possible to verify the site because G is returning the following message as if the HTML verify would be used: "We've detected that your verification file returns a status of 404 (Not found) in the header."

The site is using TYPO3. Any ideas? Every help would be much appreciated!

*** Verification FILE. ***

Looks like you have selected FILE as the method, but you are not using a file.

Choose META instead.

I did not mix up the methods for verifying!
Just now I found in G forum a discussion that there is an issue with site verifying which G tries to solve asap:
