For example: File does not exist: /home/httpd/vhosts/studentlife.co.il/httpdocs/help_center/div.hot-jobs File does not exist: /home/httpd/vhosts/studentlife.co.il/httpdocs/solutions/function.filesize File does not exist: /home/httpd/vhosts/studentlife.co.il/httpdocs/work_abroad/div.publish Now I don't understand - how did my divs and functions suddenly turn into files?? Of course they do not exist, they

I can make a request for /the/answer/to/life/the/universe/and/everything.42 and it would show up in your error log. Probably some spider is hunting for vulnerabilities in your site and it's randomly trying URLs. If you see the same pages a lot then start checking to see whether you have any broken links, otherwise forget about it. share|improve this answer answered Feb 14 '09 at 10:23 Gareth 64.7k23121139 Also - see the access logs. If all those requests have status 404 (e.g. are really nonexistent), there's no problem as Gareth said. –Olaf Kock Feb 14 '09 at 10:34 A
