The login in apache is… well, terrible? Appalling? Almost entirely a waste of disk space?

You can configure it to whatever level suits you. That's your choice.

I mean, 86%% of my error log (yes, I checked and did the calculation) is ever so helpful lines like this:

[Fri May 01 15:53:14.704934 2020] [ssl:info] [pid 17522] [client 65.121.55.45:46411] AH01964: Connection to child 1 established (server www.covisp.net:443)

Really? That’s an ERROR? In what universe is that an error? And how they hell is it even HELPFUL since it is entirely a stand-alone line devoid of any context whatsoever?

No. It's an info. Says right there in the message.

[Fri May 01 15:26:31.491833 2020] [ssl:info] [pid 17508] AH01914: Configuring server www.covisp.net:443 for SSL protocol

Yep, that is an error I need to be aware of. Sure.

Also an info

And the access logs are no better.

[Fri May 01 05:43:27.032221 2020] [cgid:error] [pid 95842] [client 150.136.214.147:54436] AH01264: script not found or unable to stat: /usr/local/www/apache24/cgi-bin/luci

Is that a configuration error, or some idiot trying to hack something that’s not there?

I'm completely unclear what the purpose of this comment is. If you're asking what the error message means I can probably help you with that, but it kind of sounds like you're picking a fight here. Did you have an actual question?
