Topic: Disable logging of 404

[spodletela]

Hi, i have a bit specific problem but i am not able to find the answer.

I have a directory with images and php script that shows them based on 404 handler (ErrorDocument 404 /returnimage.php) which checks if user is registered, doing some logging etc and returns correct headers and image. It works like a charm but i got a nasty message within error logs (ErrorLog):

[Thu Apr 02 10:47:06 2009] [error] [client x.x.x.x] File does not exist: x.gif, referer: x

I would like to disable this as it fills my logs without any need but i am unable to find some info how to do it... can someone please help me?

maybe you can create a rule with setenv that apache don't log 404 in that directory.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/logs.html search Conditional Logs

example

oh i forgot to mention, the problem is with ErrorLog

I have added it to initial post.

Fine . .same rule applies .. just different words.

Like Redirect_Status instead of Request_URI, and "404" instead of "^/robots\.txt$" and last but certainly not least, ErrorLog instead of CustomLog.

Hi spodletela

You stated that you got 404 handler (ErrorDocument 404 /returnimage.php) working like a charm.

How did you do it, because I am having trouble as stated in this posting:

I am using Apache 2.2 on Windows.

Thanks
