Hi; When I checked my linux server error log, I see errors like [Thu Apr 12 19:09:54 2007] [error] [client 88.244.8.132] File does not exist: /home/ulas/public_html/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll [Thu Apr 12 19:09:53 2007] [error] [client 85.107.176.205] File does not exist: /home/ulas/public_html/404.shtml [Thu Apr 12 19:19:38 2007] [error] [client 85.103.90.151] File does not exist: /home/ulas/public_html/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll [Thu Apr 12 19:19:39 2007] [error] [client 85.103.90.151] File does not exist: /home/ulas/public_html/MSOffice/cltreq.asp [Thu Apr 12 19:49:40 2007] [error] [client 85.103.90.151] File does not exist: /home/ulas/public_html/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll what do they mean ? and How do i fix these errors? Thanks for help
It seems those are logged attempts to access files that do not exist. You cant really fix it since its not your fault. Anyone can attempt to access a file that doesnt exist (wrong browser configuration, spam, infected boxes scans etc.) and it will write and error log line for it. Just check and clean this log periodically.
ive come across these, thought it was strange seeing .dll files requested on a linux box.. see the last post in this thread (by jetwings), it explains it well: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=26641
