Hi all,
Really quick query for you I'd imagine. I've started seeing the occasional cgi error appearing in my error log on the vps, such as the following:
I don't have any cgi scripts and have disabled them as far as I know. The only user on the vps is for my employers website and is managed by me (so no external users). The error above looks as if someone is attempting to use a cgi script on the vps, but is failing due to the fact its not enabled.
Is it something to worry about? Would someone have to have already gained access to the vps to be able to even attempt the above?
