[FIXED] Apache - File does not exist error (file is definitely there) - favicon.ico

Issue

I have apache set up as a LAMP server in Linux

In the root /www/ directory, I have a favicon.ico but it never shows in the browser (Chromium, Firefox) and in the apache error.log I get the following error:

[Mon Jul 08 17:32:30 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/favicon.ico

I'm not especially bothered with the file not appearing but it is there and I haven't been able to figure out why it's giving me this error.

Solution

(Answered in a question edit. Converted to a community wiki answer. See Question with no answers, but issue solved in the comments (or extended in chat) )

The OP wrote:

The favicon was 32x32 which seems to be why. I substituted with a 16x16 favicon.ico file and I no longer get this error.

What I further don't understand is why I would get this at all - presumably some setting as I have an apache server on a hosted website with the same 32x32 favicon but it appears there and there are no errors.
