If all you want to do at this point is get rid of the logged error messages about /robots.txt not found, an empty file will work for you. Use your hosting control panel to create and edit the file, if you don't know how to use Notepad or any other PC editor (and how to upload a file). Make sure the name is exactly robots.txt and it's in your site root (/), not the forum root or any other place.

Later, after reading up on the subject, you can put stuff in /robots.txt to control how search engines crawl your site. There's been lots of discussion on this forum. Keep in mind that /robots.txt is only a suggestion; bots are free to ignore it, so don't expect to use it for any kind of security.
