Greetings fellows,

My log files are filling up daily (to the tune of 1.5Mb or so) with references as follows :
=============
[Wed Dec 20 15:41:28 2006] [error] [client 196.41.3.194] File does not exist: /var/www/web/white, referer: http://www.ukrease.co.za/index.php?msg=8

[Wed Dec 20 14:45:08 2006] [error] [client 196.41.3.194] File does not exist: /var/www/web/weather/white, referer: http://www.ukrease.co.za/weather/admin.php
=============

There are hundreds per day and they are being generated by almost every call to any of my pages, even my phpBB2 Bridge, mediagallery etc etc..

I have scanned my config files manually, and done a grep on the entire web directory for any instance of 'white' and yet nothing is found that Ican pinpoint to the problem.

This is a most bizzare problem which I`ve been looking to solve for a while now, with no success.....

Any ideas where I may look, anyone else had this problem ?

Its your weather.php

Hi,

I don`t understand, I have no weather.php file anywhere in my web tree, and the errors are not only being generated by the weather plugin, but by almost every page that is called, eg as per log below :

The list goes on....

?

Okay, start by disabling the weather plugin. Then check your pages, if its still causing errors in your logs, then try disabling another plugin and check again. Do this until you have found the plugin thats causing your problem. If after you have disabled all plugins and you still have the problem...read your logs again and repost your error log again, but a little bit more of it though. And also, double check your directory tree for directories that are not supposed to be there.
