apache log errors

[ijk]

I keep getting these errors on apache.

[Thu Jul 10 10:18:56 2008] [error] [client myipaddress] File does not exist: /path to/error, referer: http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php

erro level in apache config is set to Notice.
I am not accessing error just visiting mywebsite.com . when the above errors occur.
These file donot exist on the server.
Checked all the php files and none of them are calling for a file called error .
Have a .htaccess file that blocks alot of unwanted ipaddresses. Even the ipaddresses blocked by .htacces file try to access the /pathto/error .
.htaccess file has no custom error documents extra.

any ideas as to why this is happening thanks

This is kind of out of scope of the forum but you could post the whole of your index.php and we might be able to help you figure it out. If the log actually says "File does not exist: /path to/error" it looks like you were supposed to edit a variable pointing to the correct place for 'error' but haven't yet done so.

httpd.conf:

Post your virtualhost config.

virtual host settings in the httpd.conf file

# Use name-based virtual hosting.

# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known

I saw the other thread you started, http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305. It's time to upgrade. If what you have listed as your server config (Freebsd 5.4-RELEASE apache2.0.63 php5.2.6 zend optimzer v3.3.0 mysql5.0.51 postfix2.5.1) is all that is on the "box" you have a few choices.

Upgrade route:

#1 - http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-upgrade-5.4-to-6.0/

#2 - Backup what you need from that server to another machine and start over with 7.0.

Re; Apache error

Something tells me that not all the sites listed in the "VHost" config are producing the error. It's only one or, maybe two right? And, the site and or sites producing the errors are using a CMS, maybe a Forum or, a script. If It's a script disable it and see what happens. If it's one of the other two they aren't setup correctly or, they aren't compatable with the server enviroment.
