Anyone know how I can stop Apache from logging this? It has no value, that I can see, and just clutters log in batches.

It looks like internal dummy connection. So, you can exclude them from your log with:

SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "::1" dontlog

and add env=!dontlog to the end of CustomLog directive:

CustomLog logs/access_log combined env=!dontlog

sry...I need to back up a bit - I'm a complete Apache newbist. Are these two lines to be added to httpd.conf or should they be executed from the a shell on the server? Apologies for my ignorance. – Meltemi Sep 16 '11 at 21:01
