Well it's been happening a lot lately with my site...I've eliminated the colorbox.css script it was referring to because that was showing as the referrer mostly. I had a separate colorbox script for pages.php pages - perhaps I had something screwy and it wasn't setup properly...

The colorbox for the image pages is still in place as that doesn't seem to be the issue...

Anyway just an update for now I'll continue to keep this thread updated.

Well it's only been 3 days but I'm happy to say that I don't even HAVE an apache error log since removing the colorbox stuff I had...

Must have been triggering a lot of stuff. Either way so far so good.

Well I guess that was too good to be true...got the error again...hopefully it will be less frequently though...idk.

The first error of the new log file is related to akismet...so I guess all this is related to a hack attempt...The subsequent errors (and only other errors) are the canary errors...

Grrr back to the drawing board...
