About Apache Logs
Hi All,
This morning i was just checking the apache logs and just came across some of the logs which had strange strings i have never heard of. This is what the line is
61.19.74.2 - - [24/May/2005:00:00:52 -0700] "GET /404_IGNORE_THIS_REQUEST.html HTTP/1.1" 404 7036 "http://sitename/path/to/the/file.html" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)"
There are several lines with the GET /404_IGNORE_THIS_REQUEST.html string. I am just confused and couldnt find any answer in google. Can you please explain me what it means or what actually happened...
Your web server received a request from 61.19.74.2 to show (get) this /404_IGNORE_THIS_REQUEST.html page. Requesting client info: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
Your server responded with a 404 error (page not found).
I've seen these kind of messages before, nothing to worry about. Unless you have html, php,cgi etc pages/code that's not written/secured correctly.
