How do you troubleshoot Apache redirects in production? I know there's a a logging feature somewhere that lets you log all the redirects that happen...

You need to set the following options:

RewriteLog         /path/to/mod_rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel    2

in your Apache config (you can't set them in your .htaccess)

This will give you a log showing you what is going on.

Also see the mod_rewrite docs

This will not work if they are actual Redirects and not RewriteRules. – Vinko Vrsalovic May 22 '09 at 18:00
Very true, I was making the assumption that he was using mod_rewrite :) – Nathan May 22 '09 at 20:09

I know it's the obvious statement to make, but if your website is busy enough for it to matter, the redirect rules should already be troubleshooted by the time you roll them out in production... (but of course I also know real life doesn't always work properly ;-)
