Home web server logs, advice required

I bought a raspberry pi to play with and have setup a simple web server on it.

I've been keep an eye on the logs for apache, and noticed entries such as

Did a google search and google suggests it's nothing to worry about as I don't run PHP.

<-- You'll want PHP, for hijinks.

You're going to see all sorts of WTF? in there. If someone were to tell me that the internet is primarily autonomous now, I wouldn't instantly laugh it off. It's not worth worrying about though, as that's a very deep well.

Php can come in time,

You'll get blitzed with attempts to hack your server. I used to have a home Linux server with the ssh port open so I could administer it remotely, the security log was crammed with attempts to hack root using commonly used password phrases.

My logs now go to /dev/null, by the way, it's literally not worth wasting time or space on them.

Oh, if you're running off an SD card, I'd recommend that you set up a small RAM disc for anything that you do allow to get written:

Logs are the Daily Mail of info, they give you eye cancer if you expose yourself too much.

Yup. There's likely no real need to write anything to the SD, unless you specifically want to retain logs.
