Anyone know where the file is that needs to be deleted to clear out the error log shown in cpanel?

I know I've done it before and this error stays behind but not a big deal.

Tsikura, you have two files that the server wants to execute but has no permission:

1) /home/xxx/public_html/w/wp-content/plugins/xinha4wp/xinha_core/plugins/Contex tMenu/1.pl
2) /home/xxx/public_html/w/wp-content/plugins/xinha4wp/xinha_core/plugins/SpellC hecker/spell-check-logic.cgi

You could delete those files, but you could get an error elsewhere as a consequence.
What about giving those files execute permission? You can do it in ssh (chmod a+x thefile) or using the File Manager to set "permissions".

The last error "directory is writable by others: (/home/xxx/public_html/w)" is security warning. Consequence is vulnerability to malicious code, which may penetrate your server and enslave it for evil!

Maybe Surpass Hosting support would be gracious enough to tune up those issues if you submitted a ticket. If you don't have PHPSuExec or suPHP installed for apache, consider them, especially with respect to the last error, which I would not leave unaccounted.

Those errors are over a year old. I do not have any of those files/directory anymore.

I also have most folders as 755 as it is. I cleared the error log once, fine, but those errors above never disappeared. I don't really need a lesson about phpsuexec, been there done that and it has caused more problems than good. Not everyone will just install scripts and not update them or check for vulnerabilities. Those files above were just for testing and dissecting some php files. I have almost no clue about how to use cpanel as I prefer ssh now.

Finally got rid of those errors. There was on suexec log that I didn't see before.

/usr/local/apache/logs/

I prefer SSH as well, but cPanel makes some tasks easier & faster to complete. If you can use SSH, then cPanel should be a piece of cake for you.

Can you tell us about your problems with PHPSuExec? I have been running it with no problems [once the initial implementation problems were ironed out]. Maybe you should try the other solution suPHP.
