below what I have done so far - I missed the point because it keeps logging ... any help appreciated: my system: SuSE Linux 10.2 - apache 2.2 - dedicated server - one host ( domain ) NO virtual hosts. my local IP for the requests to have logging omitted is: 88.198.14.45 mod_setenvif seems loaded I have several ten thousands of local requests that I want to avoid being logged to access_log - the published methods does NOT work - it keeps on logging. I also have noted that others seem to have same problem and not yet found a solution. here what I have done / tested so far: and of course after EVERY change of apache config - I did a rcapache2 configtest rcapache2 extreme-configtest both above always OK!! then a rcapache2 restart always OK! but every below mentioned variation was without any effect! - may be I placed the 2 lines of code at the wrong file / wrong place / wrong syntax ?? but it basically is what all the posts across the globe show. 1. I have tried all published variations - like I put this line into the SuSE-apache2 common config files: default-server.conf or httpd.conf or mod_log_config.conf to NO effect at all
after a full night of surfing/googling across all possibilities and all apache2 manuals I finally found the SuSE specific reason and thus the solution to omit logging of internal dummy connections
