I found many of lines like this in the servers standard log file - not in one of the apache logfiles.

Quote:
Mar 5 06:47:03 servername httpd2-prefork: 0


I had a longer Google session on this, but found nothing really helpful. Anybody knowing what that "0" means, and much more, how to solve it? It seems this is not affecting the performance at all, but the logfile entries are "annoying".

Apache2 is version 2.2.22 and runs on OpenSuse 12.2 64bit

Asking this on serverfault.com and in the apache users mailing list was without any reply so far, so maybe I have more luck here.

Did you set the error log to syslog?

e.g.
ErrorLog syslog:local1

No. Each virtualhost has his own access-log and error-log. These messages are appearing in the standard system log. And this is what is confusing me so much.

Did you search in the config directory via grep for syslog?
Do you use a cron logrotation that may cause the entry while reloading apache?

There is no single appearance of "syslog" in /etc/apache2/ and its subdirs

I am using the standard logrotate that comes along with SuSE, without making any changes on it. What could cause this single "0". Btw I don't believe the apache childs themselves are putting this "0" into the logfile...I believe it is kind of a feedback from the master process, I just would like to learn why.
