I've now for the second day had no errors thanks to a post I seen here, just added this to the robot file and the Bingbots are now behaving

Thanks for posting the solution.
Newbie question here. If the error happens when a robot calls
https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=xxxx;type=avatar
How does the robot.txt above prevent the robot from calling the index.php? Is it because of any of the "Disallow" above? Which one would that be?

I tried adding it to my forum and I'm still getting those error logs, so I'm assuming I did something wrong (likely) or I didn't capture the right case.

Kindred

None of that is required...

And honestly most of that is specific to pretty urls

Please do not PM, IM or Email me with support questions.  You will get better and faster responses in the support boards.  Thank you.

Kindred

The errors stopping is incidental..

What you did is **NOT** a solution and is not recommended. Other people should not do what you did.

Eh, leave him running his avatars in the super-inefficient and long since deprecated configuration that consumes a ton more server resources than actually figuring the problem out.

Thank you for that however this was posted by someone else here I just picked it up to try and it has stopped the errors, non for 4 days now.

If its fixed I can delete this again from the robots text

I have been getting a lot of similar errors coming up in the server error log.

[30-May-2022 04:51:25 Australia/Brisbane] PHP Warning:  sha1_file(/home/xxxxxxxxxxx/attachments/xxxxxxxxxxxxx): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxxxxxxxxxxx/Sources/ShowAttachments.php on line 128

I assume this is being looked at now?

Still getting a lot of these errors in the server log.

Is there a quick fix other than that above?

Thanks.

The following fix will be in 2.1.3:
https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF/pull/7470

The errors are harmless & can be safely ignored.

This will happen when crawlers are still looking for old-style avatar links.

I guess it's safe enough to manually patch ShowAttachments.php with the changes in https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF/pull/7470/files [nofollow] ?
