[mch79]

Hi,

After upgrading from php 7.3 to php 8 in joomla latest version- gettings hunrdres of similar errors in log file where coming as folder in public_html.webp - which never exists

Also i dont have webp enabled as of now in my images so far,

2022-12-04 05:11:34 UTC [nginx][crit] 6908#0: *2524105 openat() "/home/u246-1hyszbvlbl/www/xyz.com/public_html.webp" failed (13: Permission denied), client: 106.79.209.217
request: "GET /images/easyblog_articles/554/b2ap3_medium_MGA-Alloy-Wheel.jpg

error only coming in images
No error in frontend, as site doing fine.
can anyone help on it

Even if the error seems to have something to do with the extension EasyBlog, the message is not originating from Joomla or the third party extension. The failed function openat() is not even part of PHP but probably belongs to Nginx, the web server or Linux, the operating system.

Contact the support team of your host and give them the details of the issue.

Thanks, connected with host and they replied 3 things
a) Server configuration is perfect

b) If no issues on website and fact that public_html.webp folder do not exists then can ignore error_log (As default folder is public_html)

c) They dint have any answer for error and related to joomla component and asked if i feel that server needs some changes - can hire a server developer expert who can check and suggest.

This is what they replied
"Hello, and thank you for contacting our helpdesk.

There isn't anything missing from the nginx configuration.

This is a non-existent file:
/home/xxxxxx/www/xxxxx/public_html.webp


And it also is not a folder.

Most likely some part of the site tried to access this non-existent file/folder, hence the error.

In case the application does work as intended, it should not be worried about, however if you do want to further check it - I would advise you to contact a professional website developer who can help you out with this task."


My Worries
Although there are no errors but Unsure should i actually ignore this error_log file which is like building up for every image showing same errors and entries crossed in several hundred thousands.

Lastly - when i was on joomla 3.9x and on php 7.3 - there was no error. Updated extension and on php 8 with joomla 3.11.x latest and since then this issue is happening in error_log file - should i actually ignore ?

Did you have a Mobile App in the past connected to your Joomla Site?

public_html.webp was another virtual host defined in Nginx.

Look for it in the nginx.conf file.

Thanks no mobile app used in past
I was on Cloud server, downgraded to shared one now as lost traffic earlier
thats all. Unfortunately no access to nginx file
