First- if this is not the right forum or community for this question, please accept my apologies.

I've been getting odd entries in our PHP error logs that look something like this:
[05-Feb-2008 07:51:26] Cannot connect to www.ourwebsite.comhttp:80 - (52687668)
[05-Feb-2008 07:51:26] Cannot open http://www.ourwebsite.comhttp://holegirl.eclub.lv/.images/pictureofme?
[05-Feb-2008 07:51:26] Could not fetch: http://www.ourwebsite.comhttp://holegirl.eclub.lv/.images/pictureofme?

Obviously 'ourwebsite' is different, but the rest is the same. I'm not sure if this is someone hacking our site or just try to relay through it or something, but I don't think it's working for them. Does anyone know how to interpret this and what I could do to stop this traffic?
Thanks in advance!

Well, it doesn't have to do with Geeklog directly, but we're seeing similar attempts all the time - they're more or less "normal" these days, I'm afraid.

As long as your site is running on a secure version of whatever software you're using, you can ignore them. Or if they cause too much load, have a look at the .htaccess in the post linked to above.

bye, Dirk
