Remove it from the log or fix it from happening? If the request
hasn't made it far enough to log any details, you'd need to be the one
receiving the error, and have turned off friendly errors, to see
anything useful. You can also use a custom error page for your 500
errors that wirtes a debug or sends an email with details if you wish.
