Re: Apache2 rewrite_log_lock (Apache Users)

Hi,

Thanks for your reply and advice. Much appreciated.

I have this in my conf:

RewriteLog "logs/rewrite.log"

I think i was just being lazy when i typed the sentence: RewriteLog "logs/rewrite.log"

However, i still do not get things working, and still get the same error.

I'm not so sure the error (of permissions and logs) is actually 100% the way to solve this (i could well be wrong on that), but i cannot see why it would be complaining. This is my conf:

RewriteLog "logs/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 0
RewriteEngine Off

The logs is has /Library/Apache/ prepended to it.

Hi Sam

Lower case A? No 2?

See below.

/Library? Upper case A? 2?

> > RewriteLogLevel 0

>From the docs, http://127.0.0.1/manual/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritelog
it says: 'The RewriteLog directive sets the name of the file...'

So
1) It's a file name not a dir name
2) Ensure all components of the path are meaningful
3) Patch httpd.conf and restart the server
