I added the RewriteLog directive to the .htaccess file and am now getting Internal Error messages. When looking at the error logs, I get: [Thu Jan 19 13:20:08 2006] [alert] [client x.x.x.x] /www/vhosts/domain.com/weather/.htaccess: RewriteLog not allowed here The entry in the .htaccess file looks like: RewriteLog "logs/rewrite.log" Any ideas why this may be happening? ---- Thank You, Jason Williard On 1/19/06, Jason Williard <jwilliard@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I have a site that shows weather forecasts.

Use the RewriteLog to see what mod_rewrite is doing.
