My apologies for these messages. Now, I have checked it and is growing
the access log file. How can I do to deny these requests? I'm trying
to configure Apache to deny all requests that tries to execute .dll
files ind cgi-bin directory. Any idea? I don't know how can I do it.
Unless you completely turn off logging, so that no requests get logged,
then your log files will grow. If you have access logs turned on, then
any successful request -- such as for the go_away.html page when someone
attempts to access a .dll file in the cgi-bin directory -- will get
logged. If you have error logs turned on, then all unsuccessful
requests, including all requests for files that do not exist AND all
requests which are denied -- will get logged.
I strongly recommend keeping both access logging and error logging
turned on so that you know what is going on with your server.
Why is it a problem for you that the access logs and error logs grow?
If it's a disk space problem, you really should get more disk space, or
look into remote logging to a separate machine. If it's a problem with
having things in the log files that you don't want to see ("cruft" or
"noise" in the log files), then use a program that analyzes log files
for you, makes them more intelligible, and generates reports -- there
are many programs that will do this, and these programs take many
different approaches. Some programs to look into include Splunk,
logwatch, swatch, AWstats, Analog, and Webalizer. Do a google search on
"log file analyzer" or "log file filter", or describe what you want to
do on this mailing list and ask for advice.
