I want to know how to disable error.log globally. I understand the risk that come with it. I just want to do it. I was able to find one for access_log and disable it: #CustomLog logs/access_log combined but error_log does not exist in /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf Where do one go to disable it /etc/apache2/logs/error_log?

  Any reason to completely disable it? is it taking to much of your space if so why not think about adding a cron to clear them on a regular time interval?

  Hello, You can disable error logging for all virtual hosts on the system, but note that you will still see a limited number of entries in the Apache error log (e.g. Apache restarts). To do this, you should first create the required directory and include file: mkdir /etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata touch /etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/errorlog.conf
  Then, edit /etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/errorlog.conf so that it contains the following line: ErrorLog /dev/null
  The last step is to rebuild the Apache configuration file and restart Apache: /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf /scripts/restartsrv_httpd
  Thank you.
