    Hello,

    Could you provide some more details about where you see this error message? Are there any entries before or after that error line in the Apache error log?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    If none of your scripts or web pages are referencing "/var/www/html/index.php", then it's possible someone is simply attempting to access a file path that does not exist over the server's shared IP address. Thus, the error message correctly shows the "File does not exist: /var/www/html/index.php" message.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I am seeing a similar error

    But it shows this error against my own server IP (example 12.345.67.89).

    [:error] [pid 17567] [client 12.345.67.89:39902] File does not exist: /var/www/html/code.php

    Is there a way to trace the error using the PID ?

    Hello,

    If it's your server's IP address, try searching the files within the home directories of your accounts to see if any of them are referencing that file path. EX:

    Code:
    grep -rnw '/home/' -e 'code.php'
    Thank you.

    Thanks @cPanelMichael

    That brought back too many results - many legit.

    I think the issue is, somewhere in one of dozens of accounts, a file is calling to a "code.php" which doesn't exist.

    I checked all accounts error logs and cannot find any account showing that error.

    Is there a way to identify the offender using process ID... [pid 17341] - or any other suggestions?

    It's unlikely the process ID is still active, so I'm not sure how much it will help. You could try using the specific path, as it's not a standard file location on cPanel servers and thus you may see fewer search results:

    Code:
    grep -rnw '/home/' -e '/var/www/html/code.php'
    Thank you.

    Thanks - I finally found the issue - it was a hacked website :-(

    Client suspended and problem solved for now (with another one to deal with!)
