Is it possible to prevent the access.txt from being re-created?

    I have been using EasyPHP (Devserver 17.0) for development tests, and I just discovered that the file size of the access.txt has become 6.59 GB. It contains records of every file which was loaded.

    I don't really want to know what files were loaded. But after I deleted it, it is re-created when the server restarts.

    Is it possible to prevent the access.txt from being re-created?

    What is it in that file? If its access log file then by default it will be recreated when you delete it in the next reboot. The other workaround is you can purge that file in a timely manner or set a task scheduler.

    Open the EasyPHP Apache configuration file and comment out the log line.
