Apache2 error log huge
| Posted by kopite, 05-15-2008, 08:05 AM |
| Hi guys,
The error logs on my web server keep growing to stupidly large sizes within a couple of weeks.
when i look through the error logs it seems to be showing exactly the same line but just from diffferent Ip addresses. the line is as follows
[Sun May 11 07:11:41 2008] [error] [client ###.###.###.###] File does not exist: /var/www/phpmyadmin/tracker
i`ve googled for this but there is no mention anywhere about it.

| It's possible to stop Apache logging particular entries with this sort of thing in the httpd.conf file ...
setenvif Request_URI "/var/www/phpmyadmin/tracker" no_log
CustomLog logs/access_log "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-agent}i\"" env=!no_log

| Is the error i`m getting likely to be causing problems though?

| I don't think so - it's just a bot scanning for vulnerable websites.

| Find out where is /var/www/phpmyadmin/tracker looked up? Check the webpages and see why it is calling if it is not needed.

| Ya mean the pages I have hosted on the box?
I didnt think about that lol. As far as i`m aware there shouldnt any calls to it at all but i`ll have a look through the source code.
