I have checked both, but have made no changes to the locations of either the access log nor the error log:

 CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/access_log” common

As per these instructions, I have not created a Virtual Host container, so ostensibly the log files should not be elsewhere:

  # The location and format of the access logfile (Common Logfile Format).

    # If you do not define any access logfiles within a <VirtualHost>

    # container, they will be logged here.  Contrariwise, if you *do*

    # define per-<VirtualHost> access logfiles, transactions will be

    # logged therein and *not* in this file.

Might the change I added to the DirectoryIndex be culprit? i.e. the index.php file?

# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory

# is requested.

#

<IfModule dir_module>

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

</IfModule>

Thank you

    I don't believe DirectoryIndex would be relevant to logging, but
    simply what content to provide when presented with a directory
    request.
    
    How about your error log? Is it available and does it offer any clue
    when you restart Apache?
    
    If you have separate SSL configs do the SSL configs present their
    own log configs?
    
    Outside of those thoughts, are the directories listed in the log
    configs writable by root assuming root starts Apache?

I recently added PHP and MySql to my Apache setup, and now notice that the access and error logs are not working. (The site IS working)

They both stopped working on the 31st - I don’t know if that is relevant or not. I have not changed the location of the logs and I have not added a Virtual Host.

I’d be grateful if someone could help me rectify this.

Thank you.

It would help if you provide some more information such as relevant Apache log configs such as:
CustomLog
ErrorLog

Search for those settings throughout your Apache config files.
Perhaps by reviewing those settings the answer will become apparent.
