Unable to get detailed logging for apache mod_rewrite

Question

I'm trying to get detailed logging messages from mod_rewrite for apache 2.4.

The apache manual tells me to add this to my virtual host config:

LogLevel alert rewrite:trace3

The post https://stackoverflow.com/a/17279058/671639 sugests

LogLevel rewrite:trace3

Unfortunately apache gives the same error message for both of them:

Syntax error on line 45 of /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:
LogLevel requires level keyword: one of emerg/alert/crit/error/warn/notice/info/debug

If I use LogLevel debug, mod_rewrite isn't logging anything.

Any ideas?

From your error message, you're using Apache 2.2 (or earlier) which does not have trace1-trace8 LogLevels. You'll need to use RewriteLog and RewriteLogLevel on pre-2.4.

I'm using MAMP on OSX. If I go to `/Applications/MAMP/bin/apache2/bin` and call `httpd -v` I get `Apache/2.4.9`. `phpinfo()` says `Apache/2.2.25`. – BetaRide Nov 25 '14 at 06:22

I am running Apache 2.4.25 and receive the same error. – Dan Nissenbaum May 14 '18 at 16:26
