Apache Error Log: File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/events.php

Hi All,
I see following error in Apache Error log. I'm on centOS
File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/events.php
File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/tr_status.php

There are few other such errors as well.

Does anyone knoe what are these and any fix to stop them showing up in log file?

Tx
Jack

Hello

There is likely a website with a PHP script on your server utilizing those file locations. Thus, since those files do not exist, Apache correctly reports it in /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log. I suggest searching for files that utilize those paths and correcting them.

Thank you.

I Did some more digging and found that these requests are coming from Google crawler (IP: 66.249.73.111)

I did a search on /home directory and found an application Zabbix containing access to the file requests.
This Zabbix had cpanelexim owner/group (not sure what was exact owner and group names as I deleted zabbix folder).
I deleted the entire zabbix folder and now these error reports are gone.

Does cPanel uses zabbix somewhere?

I can't recall me or my sys admin installing it.

cPanel does not utilize or install that application. It appears to be a network monitoring solution, so you may want to consult with your system administrator or hosting provider to see if it was installed for specific purpose.

Thank you.
