Somebody is trying to hack my beta 1 site.

Found this in my error logs today;
[Mon Feb 24 14:42:48 2014] [error] [client 66.249.73.230] PHP Warning:  file_put_contents(/home/helmer/public_html/elk/db_last_error.php) [<a href='function.file-put-contents'>function.file-put-contents[/url]]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/helmer/public_html/elk/Settings.php on line 192

Appears they tried several times.

That's not a hack, that's elk trying to log a database error.

Chmod db_last_error.pho to 777 and it'll work as expected :)

Thank you both for your answers. I do thou find it interesting that this is the only person that ever caused this error (multiple times in my log) and my system is in maintenance mode. I went back and checked my logs to make sure.
