Stats all wierd...

[charlesmtf]

Just trying to the Abyss Web Server for the first time, and gotta say, after tinkling with it for several hours I find it really nice. Definitely a change from trying to figure out some of the high-end servers that are too technical. Prior to this, I was using WWW File Share Pro... which I'm not a big fan of due to limited functionality.

Anyway... while toying in the STATISTICS module, I'm looking at all the numbers it gives... Uptime, Total Hits, Error Hits, HTML Hits, etc. I notice that the Total Hits, Error Hits and HTML Hits keeps going up. The site is not live, and I am the only one accessing it. If I keep hitting refresh on the STATS page, I notice that the numbers keep going up, on all three stats. Why is that? No one is accessing the page.

I tried doing a search, but not really finding an answer to this.

charlesmtf;

Open your log file (log/access.log). Requests that are made by you are logged in lines starting by 127.0.0.1. Are there lines that does not start by 127.0.0.1? If so, this means that there are other computers accessing your site (which can be a coincidence or using a network scanner.)

Thank you for the reply. I checked the log, and all requests are by 127.0.0.1 and 169.254.x.x. Ok, so I know the 169 address is from my network. I run 6 computers on a hub. But, how would it be that all the IP's are requesting info?

Here's a copy of my log:

charlesmtf,

All the extra requests are made by the software "Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/5.1.2600". This is the software in Windows that is commonly called "Web Folders". It scans from time to time the network for "Web Folders" using the HTTP protocol (the same communications protocol used in the web servers.)
So there is nothing to worry about.
