It will repeat in the log about 10 times and the time stamp will be the same for each one. Is some cases an IP address will be shown and it will be the same for each log entry. It doesn't seem to cause any problems other than clutter up the log. Anyone have any input? Is someone trying to hack into the forum?

The task is trying to delete a cache file but for some reason is denied that.
You can try manually deleting the file triggering that error, so this G:\PleskVhosts\xxx.com\httpdocs\forum\cache/images/b828ac574454e8623a21a2c43d4e777e970fb629

Thanks for the response. I will give that a try and update.

After deleting the files in the cache/images folder no errors have shown up in the error log. Thanks for the help, Lex!
