File does not exist: error on server

[Dennisdg]

I've recently moved to a different web hosting company and my site http://www.g4glp.co.uk appears to working very well. However looking in my CP cPanelX error log I notice all is not well. Here is a copy of the errors

I didn't have tools on my previous site to see errors. I guess these errors have always been present.
I would like to get things correct this.

Please help.

Thanks

Dennis

The favicon1.ico and favicon.ico errors are from browsers looking to see if you have a 'favicon', see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon

If you really want to stop those errors, you will need to create those two files.

The 404.shtml error is the server looking for a custom 404 page to display when it can't find a file. If you want to stop that error, you can create the file; it will need to show a sensible 'not found' message. It should be possible to configure the server not to look for that page, either by getting your service provider to do it, or by creating/editing your .htaccess file - see http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/custom404.shtml for example.

The images/picture.jpg error is the only one that's related to Cumulus, it's the 'standard' background image of a Fulmar - http://sanday.org.uk/weather/images/picture.jpg

You can either upload the standard one, supply one of your own, or remove the link from the CSS file; see http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#How_do ... website.3F
