Strange errors in Error Log

Post by draneb » Wed Feb 23, 2011 9:33 pm

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how it is possible to be getting error messages like these. I thought it might be a search engine spider but I have been getting them faithfully every day.

An error has occured at http://www.xyz.com/Key-Chains-C590.aspx/Category.aspx?CategoryId=624
The file '/Key-Chains-C590.aspx' does not exist.


The strange this is
1) the file http://www.xyz.com/Key-Chains-C590.aspx DOES exist but
2) how in the world is it adding /Category.aspx?CategoryId=624 at the end? They are not even the same category Id's.

Another example:
An error has occured at http://www.xyz.com/Jewelry-C597.aspx/Product.aspx?ProductId=29610
The file '/Jewelry-C597.aspx' does not exist.


But, the file http://www.xyz.com/Jewelry-C597.aspx does exist. Don't know how in the world the /Product.aspx?ProductId=29610 got added to the end.

What is also strange is that if I copy and paste these strange URLs in the browser they will actually display data!

My entire site is run from the database and no links are hard coded or anything so I have no idea how these strange URLs are showing up in the admin Error Logs. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you!

I am still getting these errors. At least 50 of them today. Is there anything I can do to get a more detailed error report?
I don't understand how the /Category.aspx and /Product.aspx are being appended to the end of the URLs. These errors are by far the most confusing out of any I have ever gotten.

An error has occured at
http://www.mydomain.com/Key-Chains-C590 ... goryId=624
The file '/Key-Chains-C590.aspx' does not exist.

Do you get such an error while browsing yourself or is it happening because of some bot activity? If you are not getting this error in normal browsing it could be some bot causing these invalid URLs

I have had problems in the past with the MS search spider mangling URLs. One time I emailed them as it was going on and they stopped the spider because I was getting hundreds of error messages.

We still need more detail error reporting. I have a similar problem with a URL http://www.hillcountrycustomcycles.com/ ... tegoryId=2 failing as http://www.hillcountrycustomcycles.com/ ... eCatId=2[b]&[/b]CategoryId=2; It is failing because the &CategoryId is being changed to &

The log4net does not allow enough detail. I need to know from where the request is coming. I want access to all ServerVariables. I am working on code to send email when an error occurs with error type filtering. Once I get the code setup, I will pass those along.
Regards,
Richard

Sometimes you can get more detail if you turn debug on temporarily in the web.config file.
