Import without selecting file creates giant apache error log

[orblivion]

I'm running apache from Ubuntu's repo, Lucid Lynx. I went to import an old blog, specifically as the MT format. Except, I forgot to select the file, and just hit Import. As I was waiting, before I realized my mistake, I started getting warnings about low disk space on my root partition. Eventually space went to zero.

Thankfully my friend suggested I look under /var/log and found that apache's error log had grown to fill the space. I deleted the file and restarted apache (inode sticks around while apache still has the file open) and I'm good.

Perhaps you'd want to look into why so many error messages are being generated.

Oh, and Chromium browser.

Hi!

Well, without your exact warnings, we wouldn't know what you get warned about.

You should definitely run PHP logging only with E_ALL &~E_NOTICE to exclude NOTICE warnings. Those are extra picky, don't interfer with a web application and only generate noise.
