Log query - imag hits from my IP

[stuartmcdonald]

Looking at my log files, either through cpanel or awstats, there are a huge number of hits from my site's IP - percentage wise, almost 50% of the hits, but only a fraction of page views.

I then took a look in the "Last 300 visitors" section and the same IP is calling hundreds and hundeds of image files.

On the website in question a lot of image files are accessed using php fopen functions rather than just being coded into the HTML pages - would that be what would be causing these entries?

Any assistance appreciated.

That is so interesting. I'm looking forward to somebody explaining it....

...image files are accessed using php fopen...

Yes that's it, depending on your server config (and your stats program.)

I use PHP includes on one apache server site and the logs show a very high hit rate from the servers IP.

If you can, filter them out of the stats report.

ahh ok, thanks a lot for that.
