Apache error log re host
Setting $wgFavicon to an empty string should work, I think.
Reach Out to the Truth I am sorry I still do not understand. I cannot find $wgFavicon in local settings or anywhere else. I have tried inserting it in local settings and I get an error and the wiki will not open. I do not know how to set $wgFavicon to an empty string in any event. Thank you for your help, I will just leave it, I was brought up listening to a wireless with knobs and dials!
$wgFavicon = '';
Adding that to LocalSettings.php will set it to an empty string. Clients may still try to look look for favicon.ico in your web root though, I'm not sure. If they do that, you'll continue to see that error in the log.
Reach Out to the Truth: Thank you for your perseverance. I have now got rid of the reference to 'favicon' and back to the "...given path is misformatted...".

As for the "(20024)The given path is misformatted ..." error, I have it too. Please see this link: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41441
In a nutshell, it will not be fixed anytime soon and it should not have negative impact on your wiki.
