Hi there

In my error log file there are lots of lines with errors like:

File does not exist:
/home/xxxxxxxxxx/public_html/architects/eisenman/ccg/favicon.ico

With the favicon in root, the request generates an error logging (1798 of
them in a month). Very annoying and time consuming to distiller those. And
the logging uses bandwidth too.

I found this:

# REDIRECT FAVICON.ICO
<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/favicon\.ico [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} favicon\.ico [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.xxxxxxx.com/favicon.ico [R=301,L]
</ifmodule>

# Method adapted from
http://perishablepress.com/press/2008/08/12/redirect-all-requests-for-a-none
xistent-file-to-the-actual-file/

In a week or so I'll go back to the error log to see if it's working as
promised.

:-)
