Hi, On one of our server, the apache error log was logged in to the /var/log/messages file instead of default location /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log. Before, we use rsyslog to send the Apache error log to remote syslog server, then this log was starting to log into /var/log/messages file. I had removed this confg and restarted rsyslog/httpd services on several servers, only one server still send log to the /var/log/messages file. Those servers are using cloudlinux, most of the settings are identical. Any idea? ===/var/log/messages=== Jun 2 17:02:43 host httpd[558047]: [:error] [pid 558047] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:44350] File does not exist: /home/user/public_html/xmlrpc.php

  Hello :) Are you using any third-party web servers on this system? Please post the output from: grep ErrorLog /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
  Thank you.

  No 3rd-party web servers on this system. You are right, the errorlog was redirected to syslog in the httpd.conf. I might forgot I made the change before. Thank you. ErrorLog "logs/error_log" #ErrorLog "syslog:local5"

  Remember to distill the changes after reverting back to the default value. To check whether your changes will be saved, use the /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf script to rebuild the httpd.conf file. Thank you.
