Non-existent directory in RewriteLog fails silently

           Summary: Non-existent directory in RewriteLog fails silently
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.47
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_rewrite
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: rsafran@loopdigitalworks.com


Running Gentoo Linux with Apache 2.0.47 (compiled from source).
Migrating sites to new server.  copied vhosts entries from previous httpd.conf.
Entry for RewriteLog referred to non-existent directory (from the old server).
Apache failed to start and did not report any errors on the command line or in
Apache or server logs even with LogLevel=debug.  apache2 -t and apache2ctl
configtest did not report any errors.

Changing the LogRewrite to the correct value solved the startup failure, but
substantial time was invested trying to find the problem.
