I don't like that I see a lot of 404 errors in the access.log of my web server. I'm getting those errors because crawlers try to open a robots.txt file, but couldn't find any. So I want to place a simple robots.txt file that will prevent the 404 errors from appearing in my log file.

What is a minimum valid robots.txt file that will allow everything on the site to be crawled?

As indicated here, create a text file named robots.txt in the top-level directory of your web server. You can leave it empty, or add:

User-agent: *
Disallow:


If you want robots to crawl everything. If not, then see the above link for more examples.
