Topic: RewriteLog function not logging to file

[Mitch_H]

I am trying to figure out why my rewrites aren't working, so I want to utilize the RewriteLog function.

I have the following code snippet in my /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf file, but I can't seem to get anything to log to the file. I have also tried predefining the file /var/log/httpd/rewrite_log but that hasn't helped.

# CPANEL/WHM/WEBMAIL/WEBDISK PROXY SUBDOMAINS
<VirtualHost 70.xx.yy.1:80 70.xx.yy.2:80 70.xx.yy.3:80 70.xx.yy.5:80 70.xx.yy.6:80 *>
ServerName merlo.webhosting.com
ServerAlias cpanel.* whm.* webmail.* webdisk.*
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/htdocs
ServerAdmin mitch.vvvvvv@xxxxx.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "/var/log/httpd/rewrite_log"
RewriteLogLevel 3
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^cpanel\.
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:2082/$1 [P]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^webmail\.
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:2095/$1 [P]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^whm\.
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:2086/$1 [P]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^webdisk\.
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:2077/$1 [P]
UseCanonicalName Off
</VirtualHost>

This is on a dedicated server that is running cPanel. Any insight about this would be greatly appreciated.

You need to set the RewriteLogLevel
Please see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriteloglevel
