I notice a fair few hits to my 404 page in Recent Hits (I have access logging turned on).

Clicking on Details tells me little other than the IP address of the visitor and the time of the visit. The referrer is blank.

What I would like to know is the URL they attempted to access. I would like to know because if I see multiple attempts to hit the same non-existent URL I can create or redirect that URL. But, without knowing what they are looking for I am effectively unable to help them.

I suspect this is a common complaint. Anyone handled this situation?

Thanks,

At admin/reports/page-not-found you can get a list of the most common 404 results.
Also check out the 404 Search module – good stuff. (http://drupal.org/project/search404)

Have fun!

Thanks, the admin/reports/page-not-found doesn't exist on my site (ver 6) and I am already running 404search but that doesn't indicate what people looked for.

It seems very strange that the report page doesn't exist – are you sure you have the correct permissions set for your account? (Had to ask...)

Yes, logged in as the first created account.

Is it an option turned on elsewhere? Seems odd I don't see it but you do...
