Cpanel error log [ client denied by server configuration ]

Question

Hello,

This is the first time I visited my error log (in cpanel) and found this:

client denied by server configuration: /home/mydomain/public_html/myFolder/index.php3, referer: http://some_domain.com
client denied by server configuration: /home/mydomain/public_html/myFolder/index.php4, referer: http://some_domain.com
client denied by server configuration: /home/mydomain/public_html/myFolder/index.cgi, referer: http://some_domain.com
client denied by server configuration: /home/mydomain/public_html/myFolder/index.pl, referer: http://some_domain.com
client denied by server configuration: /home/mydomain/public_html/myFolder/index.shtml, referer: http://some_domain.com
client denied by server configuration: /home/mydomain/public_html/myFolder/index.html, referer: http://some_domain.com
client denied by server configuration: /home/mydomain/public_html/myFolder/index.htm, referer: http://some_domain.com

client denied by server configuration: /home/mydomain/public_html/myFolder/index.php3
client denied by server configuration: /home/mydomain/public_html/myFolder/index.php4
client denied by server configuration: /home/mydomain/public_html/myFolder/index.cgi
client denied by server configuration: /home/mydomain/public_html/myFolder/index.pl
client denied by server configuration: /home/mydomain/public_html/myFolder/index.shtml
client denied by server configuration: /home/mydomain/public_html/myFolder/index.html
client denied by server configuration: /home/mydomain/public_html/myFolder/index.htm

Above in referer theres a domain and in second theres no referer.

Is some body trying to hack me? Or what is this..?

Thank You.

Maybe someone's trying to enumerate your publicly accessible files? Not sure, Im not really familiar w/the format of CPanel's log file.

Can you get access to apache.log for the same time frame?
