Hi I have noticed a lot of localhost lookups mainly pointing to PHPMyAdmin but this week i have also noticed lookups with the server external IP. Not to sure why this is happening an explanation would help here if possible thx in advance localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:05:48:41 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:05:53:41 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:05:58:41 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:03:41 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:08:41 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:13:41 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:18:41 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:23:42 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:28:41 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:33:42 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:38:42 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:43:42 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:48:42 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:53:42 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" Im not sure how to stop my own ip for server from doing this and whether it is a problem to be worried about. The Server Ip localhost lookups are not recorded in the apache error logs. But all of this type are recorded in apache error logs localhost||||399||||210.83.230.158 - - [02/Aug/2010:22:22:11 +0100] "GET /nosuichfile.php HTTP/1.1" 404 399 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1;

I guess someone is trying to scan your server to find a vulnerability. You can block that IP as follows: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=38142&postcount=4
Hi Thanks for your reply i have blocked the ips of the scanners but it is these which are the ip of my server that i was worried about. localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:05:48:41 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:05:53:41 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:05:58:41 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:03:41 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:08:41 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:13:41 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:18:41 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:23:42 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" localhost||||1155||||87.194.131.22 - - [03/Aug/2010:06:28:41 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1155 "-" "-" or are these normal, i have not seen them before untill this week Kieron
Hi No sorry this ip is my external ip from isp not my server internal ip. I have disabled nat loopback on router and they have stopped so i will leave it like that for now. # nat loopback (access external IP from inside): ip config natloopback=disabled Thx again for your reply
