Profile.php issues please advise on the questions below!!

Greetings, I do apologize for the extended delay, We have stabilised the server at this time by disabling the following file: '/mycommunity/profile.php' There appears a decent amount of local traffic directed towards profile.php as shown below: [+] Top Connections by IP any port: 1 50.23.47.206 2 157.55.18.24 3 207.46.199.45 3 207.46.204.241 4 65.52.108.148 5 65.52.104.27 9 96.252.243.219 42 0.0.0.0 316 127.0.0.1 621 184.172.250.53 [+] Connections by port: 1 783 1 8443 1 953 1 993 1 995 1 9999 2 22 11 53 99 11211 473 80 [+] TOTAL: 1010 I have disabled the file profile.php to protect the integrity of the server. Is there a specific reason the server is connecting to profile.php continuously ?

Makes no sense to me.

They are calling it local traffic(IE. Local as in your own server) Yet all of the IP addresses are different.




The first IP address is wizard2.hostgator.com
The second, 3'rd, 4'th and 5'th are one of MSNs search engines servers.

I did not look up the rest.

I think the search engines are flooding your site indexing profiles.

I know you can adjust crawl rate in google, but i do not know if MSN can be changed.

Ah, wait. I just found this. http://www.bing.com/community/site_blogs/b/webmaster/archive/2009/08/10/crawl-delay-and-the-bing-crawler-msnbot.aspx

You can also try adding a robots.txt file to your site and setting msnbot as a search engine to not allow to crawl your site.

In any case. It does not appear to be local traffic to me. It appears to be search engines crawling to fast.

@prolaznic

You will get used to his posts after a while. He has the tendency to putting his question in the title of the message rather than in the body.

I was quite confused by that as well at first. I always expect the question to be in the body of the message as most people do.

What might cause this: Insufficient permissions

Most likely incorrect permissions or ownership of the photos. Most likely the result of moving the photos. Perhaps from one server to another.

And aparently some of the images it's trying to request do not exist.
