I am getting following error while running index.php file on apache
File does not exist: /home/../../../../favicon.ico
What does this mean? What should I change to resolve it?

When you add a favicon to your site, it may not show up since your browser has 'saved' your site as one without a favicon. You need to clear the cache in your browser or use a different browser.
The favicon. ico file is a small graphic icon that is used by some browsers (including Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox) to enhance the display of address bar information and "favorites" bookmark lists. When requesting a resource, these browsers also try to locate the site's custom favicon.
adding <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgo="> seems to solve the issue. If I got it right, I can open data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgo= in browser, save it as favicon. ico aka. empty PNG file and store it in website root.
Right-click on the website and click the "View page info" option from the list. It will open up a dialog and click on the "Media" tab. In that tab you will see all the images including favicon. Select the favicon.
Favicon.ico is an icon file that is displayed next to the URL in the browser bar. (See the StackExchange icon next to the URL).
There is no way to stop browsers requesting it. You can either create a favicon, or create a zero byte file called favicon.ico and place in the web root.
