Create a favicon.ico file, or ignore the error. httpd is just reporting that the user's browser is trying to fetch /favicon.ico and apparently it doesn't exist. Logging that as a 404 is standard behavior. You don't have one so httpd reports a 404.
There are ways of telling the browser to not expect a favicon.ico or telling it that it exists somewhere else (that perhaps doesn't exist), but httpd in this case is really doing nothing wrong. The wisdom of favicons is a different story but they are standard. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1321878/how-to-prevent-favicon-ico-requests One could argue that perhaps the web server shouldn't log favicon-related 404s...but then there will be someone trying to figure out why his/her favicons aren't showing up and will be looking at logs.
