I’m getting a few 404s and can’t figure out why.
My .htaccess looks like:
<code># boatload of Deny from IPs
<ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# Block most requests to mydomain.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/403.shtml$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [R=403,L]
# more stuff
</code>
<code># boatload of Deny from IPs
<ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# Block most requests to mydomain.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/403.shtml$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [R=403,L]
# more stuff
</code>

RewriteRule .* - [R=403,L]

This is an area of my shared hosting account that should not be accessible to the www. I’d like any request (other than /403.shtml) to get a 403.
Yet I find this singular 404 in my Apache access log…
apache access log
I’m probably missing something obvious. I occasionally see a few other 404s (not in this particular log file), but mostly I get the expected 403s.
This isn’t a big deal. But if I am doing something wrong I’d like to find out.
Any suggestions?
