Even though we have disabled nginx access log, it logs on a different  
path.

_/usr/local/nginx/_

Does anyone know who does it?

The configure script has access log disabled and nginx error log in  
/var/logs/ngnix\_error.log

How do you disbale access log via configure ?  
There is no way to do it via configire.

Try

http {

```
 access_log off;
```
