I'm getting a lot of messages in my error logs like these:

Does anybody know what went wrong?

I'm getting a lot of internal server 500 errors as well, do you think this is related to it?

Thanks in advance! I've been looking into the problem for quite some time now but can't find a solution

That means someone tried to access http://www.hetslangenforum.nl/style.css which obviously doesn't exist. Nothing to worry about in there, just a curious visitor I guess.

Tell us more about the internal server errors. Where do they appear?

thanks for your fast reply!

I was hoping it was something like that but I'm affraid this isn't the case. I'm getting around 25 of these messages every minute ...

The internal server errors appear multiple times a day, it takes a few minutes and than everything is fine again.

one of my members sent me this printscreen, this is just one out of many (all the same):



The problems have been going on for some time now, these are two errors I also got a lot of in the error log:

For the second error there, it looks like someone is trying to access a weird URL; it won't cause any harm so don't worry about it. The first one is something you'll need to ask your host about.

You might need to talk to your web host about that. Ask them to set a higher value for max_execution_time and memory_limit in your php.ini configuration file.

Okay, thanks!

I was afraid the second one was the most nasty of the two.

I had a feeling it was the memory limit, I found it in a old topic here. But I thought the settings were ok:

Quote:max_execution_time 25
memory_limit 32M

But I will still contact them, thanks again faviouz!

I hope this will stop the internal server errors. My members have got a lot of patience, but this makes me want to solve the problems even more haha.

It does look nasty; I'm not too sure what the user who went to that URL was trying to achieve, but a security module your host has installed stopped the request even being made.
