    Hi,
    I have around 6-8 sites on a single server using ISPConfig3 on debian 7. My Apache2 error.log shows multiple entries of files not existing. How can I decipher which website is this entry referring to.

    [Wed May 20 17:30:36 2015] [error] [client 188.165.15.187] File does not exist: /var/www/accident-law
    [Wed May 20 17:34:27 2015] [error] [client 188.165.15.187] File does not exist: /var/www/other-legal-services
    [Wed May 20 17:35:27 2015] [error] [client 188.165.15.187] File does not exist: /var/www/medical-malpractice
    [Wed May 20 17:35:56 2015] [error] [client 188.165.15.187] File does not exist: /var/www/accident-law
    [Wed May 20 17:36:30 2015] [error] [client 188.165.15.187] File does not exist: /var/www/blogs
    [Wed May 20 21:11:22 2015] [error] [client 180.76.15.22] File does not exist: /var/www/robots.txt
    [Wed May 20 21:13:48 2015] [error] [client 180.76.15.29] File does not exist: /var/www/robots.txt

    Moreover, I am confused since my websites are located at /var/www/clients/client-X/web-X/web. So why does the [client 180.76.15.22] look for file in /var/www/.
    I followed Falko's installation to deploy the server.
    Can someone please guide how to get rid of this error?

    The lines mans that someone tries to connect for non existing sites on your IP address. Messages like this are normal, so no need for any actions. such probes happen on the internet all the time and they dont harm your server when you followed the perfect serverguide for installing it.
