I know this question is stupid and often answered, but so far no solution has worked for me. I use OpenSuse and Apache2 and added
SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "127\.0\.0\.1" loopback SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "::1" loopback CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access_log combined env=!loopback
but if I restart apache, the access log will show me
::1 - - [01/Nov/2012:23:18:06 +0100] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)" ::1 - - [01/Nov/2012:23:18:16 +0100] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)" ::1 - - [01/Nov/2012:23:18:22 +0100] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)" ::1 - - [01/Nov/2012:23:18:34 +0100] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)" ::1 - - [01/Nov/2012:23:18:35 +0100] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)" ::1 - - [01/Nov/2012:23:18:36 +0100] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)" ::1 - - [01/Nov/2012:23:18:37 +0100] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)" ::1 - - [01/Nov/2012:23:19:34 +0100] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)" ::1 - - [01/Nov/2012:23:19:52 +0100] "OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "Apache (internal dummy connection)"
Can someone help me because my server has a lot of traffic, in which case dummy connections are very bad for server performance. Ask me what you want to know about server configurations.
Thank you very much.
