File Not Found errors

I was looking through my error log. I'm getting these type of errors all throughout the day. The thing is, everything seems fine. The files are there and the site isn't barfing.

Code:

[Thu Jul 13 23:24:52 2006] [error] [client 72.30.128.141] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/home/cellphon/public_html/vbseo.php

What is going on?

Hello,

you may try to check your access log for the records with the same timestamp to find out which URL triggered the error.

Here is a more current error:

Code:

[Fri Jul 14 09:22:02 2006] [error] [client 72.30.101.208] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/home/cellphon/public_html/vbseo.php

And here is everything that happened in that second:

I looked before and after that time to see if I could locate the IP. I don't see it. I have a feeling it's a yahoo slurp though.

Wait a min. The actual path to that file is /home/cellphon/public_html/vbseo.php not /usr/local/apache/htdocs/home/cellphon/public_html/vbseo.php

So how is it resolving to the htdocs directory?

Hm.. do you have other similar entries in error log? Are there entries from other IP addresses? It's possible that they have indexed some broken link and just trying to access it now.

There are errors every hour of the day, and there have been for a while.

Are all of them from the same IP address? Can you provide us with access to your error/access logs (via support ticket)?

No, they're from different IP's but most of them seem like yahoo

Well.. what about the access to check the log content? (you can provide this in support ticket)
