The log filesize grows every second, why does it keep writing those lines?

No, none of those .htaccess files are changing. I checked the modifed date and it's in 2007. The log file came to 50M in a day. :eek:

I didn't mess around with the permissions, never seen this behavior before on this cPanel server.

it shows as:

-rw-r--r-- 1 johndoe johndoe 9623 Oct 8 02:01 .htaccess

Ok, glad it is just a bug. :D

If it's helpful, the forum directory is an addon domain, ie subdomain forum.mywebsite.com goes to mywebforum.com

Thanks, just updated. Another question, I see error_log files created in the document root for my domains. Is there any way to disallow access to them via a web browser for security reasons?
