Logwatch 404 and 503 Errors to external URLs

    Hi everybody,

    i used a little vServer with ubuntu (turnkey) and use logwatch to be informed by email about any errors. I'm confused about the following errors from Apache:

    --------------------- httpd Begin ------------------------
    Requests with error response codes
    404 Not Found
    http://translate.google.com/gen204: 1 Time(s)
    http://www.teddybrinkofski.com/ip_json.php: 1 Time(s)
    503 Service Unavailable
    http://www.google.com/: 1 Time(s)
    ---------------------- httpd End -------------------------

    These errors are definetly not from my own code. I have checked that mod_proxy is disabled and i disabled also CONNECT like here described: http://www.davekb.com/browse_computer_tips:logwatch_connection_attempts_using_mod_proxy:txt

    What does these errors mean and how can i disabled this?

    Thanks for help!
    Bye g.g.

    What about trying to discover your HTTPd logfile path (the one from which logwatch reading above mentioned data)
    and then seeing more details. Maybe we all can better read standard apache/httpd log file than obove logwatch code?

    cat /path/to/logfile | grep gen204

    Hi, yes you are right. Here are the related lines from the logs:

    The final answer is: yes, the proxy is disabled. Thats why apache try to find the requested files on the local storage. This results in 403 (forbidden) or 404 (not found) errors.
