disabling apache logging to access.log

Question

I've been reading about disabling the logging of the apache server, which is crucial for me as I'm running huge tests on it, and it fills the disk.

I've tried changing http.conf and directing stuff to /dev/null, but none of it worked, as most of it was the Error logging.

Any idea anyone?

Thanks

In order to disable and turn off the Apache logging, just comment out the log lines in the Apache configuration file. Read more here.

Just comment the areas where logging was set.

On,

httpd.conf
virtual hosts configurations (virtual.conf, domain.conf etc)

For something like

CustomLog logs/access_log common
ErrorLog logs/error_log

Just do,

#CustomLog logs/access_log common
#ErrorLog logs/error_log

	Do a find on all the configuration files. grep -r "ErrorLog" /path/to/apache/config – Rum Verse Nov 25 '12 at 15:42
