How about reading documentation?

access_log off;

I would presume because you would never really want error_log turned
off. You would probably always want to see if errors are happening. If
you are getting lots of errors and you don’t mind them just change the
level of error logging.

On the other hand sometime you don’t need access logging in certain
parts of your config like favicon.ico or maybe you don’t want access
logging on all your image or css files only your main url’s getting
accessed.

V/r,

Why is it that “access_log off” turns off logging but “error_log off”
creates a logfile “off”? This seems very inconsistent to me and a trap a
user can very easily fall into if he’s not familiar with this quirky
behaviour.
