cakephp 2 non existing controller and files could not be found

I make debug on a website running on cakephp 2 (yes it's old i know)

I have strange errors i cannot resolve.

in log i have: 

-Error: [MissingControllerException] Controller class Wp-login.phpController could not be found
-Error: [MissingControllerException] Controller ColonisersController could not be found.
-Error: [MissingActionException] Action ImgController::ui-bg_diagonals-thick_90_eeeeee_40x40.png() could not be found.
-Error: [MissingActionException] Action ImgController::moustique-tigre-default.png() could not be found.
...

I search over all the source code for Colonisers but it is not write even once (also i think ColonisersController is a renammed controller because it is misspelled).

I search over the web for the Wp-login.php and it is a wordpress page, so no link to cakephp at all, also not write anywhere in the source code.

Same story for the missings pngs files. not in the source code.

I try to clear the cache folder on server but problems remains.

I have ghost source code? file are somewhere in another cache ? any idea are welcomed.

By default all request that do not map to an actual file are being passed over to CakePHP, where the app will try to match the request to a route, and if one is found, finally try to match it to a controller and an action.

You seem to have some rather unspecific routes defined that eat pretty much anything as a possible controller name, hence things are being passed further for searching for a matching a controller and an action, which is where the request flow will end, as no matching controller or action can be found - consequently a MissingControllerException or MissingActionException is being triggered, an error is being logged (by default all exceptions are being logged), and in production mode (debug = 0) the app will respond with a 404 error.

So, no ghosts, no cached files, that's just how things work.
