On Jan 15 at 12:26, I said: > I'm trying to supress logging of such things as favicon.ico, gifs and > jpegs.

It just reports "Syntax > OK" and when I restart there are no logfile errors. > FOLLOWUP I found this gem at: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/env.html#examples SetEnvIf Request_URI \.gif image-request SetEnvIf Request_URI \.jpg image-request SetEnvIf Request_URI \.png image-request CustomLog /var/log/httpd-access.log combined env=!image-request Restarted httpd and no more images (of the kind described above anyway) were logged. Still outstanding is the other task of conditionally logging attempted exploits, (but not the output) and confirming URL-rewriting is working as per my other post this morning. Regards to all, -Colin
