I don't know the correct forum to post this in, seeing as this is really a post-install problem and not a Pre Install or Install problem.

Anyways, we got our site up and running live recently, and this morning I noticed a whole LOT of 'page not found' errors in the logs:

page not found Sep 6 2005 - 1:22pm 403.shtml not found. Anonymous

The details of which look like this:

Type	page not found
Date	Tuesday, September 6, 2005 - 1:22pm
User	Anonymous
Location	/forum/taxonomy/term/80/0/taxonomy/term/taxonomy/0/taxonomy/term/taxonomy/0/taxonomy/term/taxonomy/0/taxonomy/term/taxonomy/0/tax
Message	403.shtml not found.
Severity	warning

(hostname removed for anonymity)

Since the location was of little use in tracking down the problem I searched the actual apache logs and found the first occurance of the problem:

...

So it seems that the user entered one of our forums and subscribed to the forum feed in Google Desktop, aftwhich Google Desktop went nuts.

Anyone have any thoughts here?

Now at least two (anonymous) users have initiated this problem with Google Desktop and the logs are just getting ridiculously bloated with '403.shtml not found.' errors (once every minute).

Ok, it seems like it's probably related to this problem:

This is my problem when activating CleanURLs! But the patches base_kill.patch and base_url_kill_0.patch does not match to the include-files I have installed with 4.6.3!

I only have ftp access to the server. No telnet, no scripts!
And at least no cvs on my Win2k at home for joining sources together... :-D
