title: Apache 2 error log only shows the error message "0"
body: <p>Since a few days, my Apache 2 error log is showing a lot messages like the following (IP addresses and URIs redacted):</p>

  <p>What is this <code>0</code>? There are no other messages shown (besides sometimes some other, normal messages, but very rarely).</p>
  
  <p>The IP addresses are both IPv4 and IPv6. I checked the access log for the same date/time and IP addresses. Most of the times, there was an access for the exact same moment from this IP for different URIs on my webpage. But sometimes, there wasn't an access according to the access log.</p>
  
  <p>It's a shared hosting environment, so I can't access the Apache settings (but I have ssh access to my home directory if this helps). I already googled and searched the Apache documentation, but didn't found anything (it's hard to search for "0"...)</p>
  
  <p>/edit: I also asked the webhoster, they said they don't know what it's causing. I cross checked it with the Apache access log, these are requests to PHP scripts (mostly Joomla), but also requests to images as well as JS and CSS files. So I assume it's not a PHP script which is causing this.</p>
