If I specify RewriteLog within the virtual host context, it does.

I hope so. The vhost context is just ~20 lines below the server context. > (Does the log file name begin with a slash?) Yes. > - Does Apache HTTP Server have permission to open and > write the log file in the place you have specified? Sure. As mentioned before, when specifiying the (no doubt identical) directive within the vhost it works like a charm. > - Are there error messages about creating/opening the log file > in your web server error log file? No. But see above. Server context: RewriteEngine on RewriteLog /var/www/logs/rewrite.log RewriteLogLevel 2 Vhost context: RewriteEngine on #RewriteLog /var/www/logs/rewrite.log RewriteLogLevel 2 $some_conditions_and_rules => Rewrite works, logging does not. Server context: RewriteEngine on (#)RewriteLog /var/www/logs/rewrite.log RewriteLogLevel 2 Vhost context: RewriteEngine on RewriteLog /var/www/logs/rewrite.log RewriteLogLevel 2 $some_conditions_and_rules => Rewrite works, so does logging. Also removed the "<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>" tags, no difference. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
