Package: apache2
Version: 2.4.6-3
Severity: minor


Thanks again for maintaining apache2.

I happened to notice that a 404 (Not Found) error
was reported in access.log instead of error.log.

It seems to me that being unable to GET a page is

    1.) an error and 
    
    2.) should be reported in error.log.


I noticed this happening when version 2.4.6-3 of
    
    /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

no longer looked in

    /etc/apache2/conf.d

for a certain .conf file containing an "Alias".


Details are described in bug report #720747.

Thanks,
Kingsley

If I understand correctly, Nirgal thinks the
default behavior for

    LogLevel warn

in 

    /etc/apache2/apache2.conf 
    
and

    /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

is to not report 404s (Not found) to 

    /var/log/apach2/error.log


As he helpfully suggested, I tested changing it to

    LogLevel info

and 404s appeared in 

    /var/log/apach2/error.log


I'm not yet convinced of the wisdom of ignoring
404s in 

    /var/log/apach2/error.log

but, we'd like to close this bug report.

Thanks,
Kingsley
