This is not an Apache issue. This is a browser issue. Browsers request this file, and there's nothing you can do about that on the server side. What I recommend is that you create a favicon.ico file, or at the very least, create a zero-byte file called favicon.ico to silence the errors. Do this by typing:

touch favicon.ico

at the command line in your document directory.
