debug rewrite log

Submitted by sandip on Wed, 03/13/2013 - 11:46.

If you don't have "NS" (Not for internal Subrequests) in the rewrite rule, it may re-write internally and not pass it the redirect as desired. To debug, turn on rewrite logging via:

  RewriteLog /var/log/httpd/rewrite_log
  RewriteLogLevel 3
