How to enable LiteSpeed rewrite logging to diagnose redirect errors

Introduction

If you are having difficulties with redirects, or are seeing the following error, you may consider enabling rewrite logs for your domain to diagnose the issue.

Procedure

NOTE: On cPanel servers, LiteSpeed uses Apache configuration files.

First, create an Apache include for your domain by using the following instructions:

Include the following directive in both the std and ssl versions of the Apache include:

/scripts/restartsrv_apache --restart

You may then review the logs at the following location:

/etc/apache2/logs/error_log
