Using mod_rewrite got some File does not exist messages in Apache logs

  • 772

My mod_rewrite rules are working fine but sometimes similar errors showing up in my error logs:

File does not exist: /var/www/examplesite/exampleurl

Of course the requested directory doesn't exists, page properly served but my error logs growing.

What can cause these errors?

apache-2.2 mod-rewrite

  1. You should probably start by changing the loglevel for your rewrite engine:

    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriteloglevel

    Example

    RewriteLogLevel 3

    This should help diagnose if there is an issue with the rewrite rules or perhaps some other parameters for the client requests(perhaps they have incorrect Host parameters, etc).
