Errors to error_log are logged once they happen, so you can't
configure separate error_log to log specific errors (in contrast
to access_log).

However you may control whether to log "not found" errors or not -
there is configuration directive "log_not_found" for this, see
http://nginx.org/r/log_not_found.
