apache mod rewrite - initial URL equal rewritten URL

  • 772

I have rewrite rules and get many logs like:

[Thu Mar 26 11:41:00.356526 2020] [rewrite:trace1] [pid 18095] mod_rewrite.c(483): [client xy.xy.220.72:56702] xy.xt.220.72 - - [app.xyz.com/sid#7f7996613868][rid#7f79964eb0a0/initial] [perdir /var/www/app/] initial URL equal rewritten URL: /var/www/app/assets/css/management.css [IGNORING REWRITE], referer: https://app.xyz.com/management/content_page

Things work well and I dont want to change redirect rules. How can I get rid of this notice? As far as I understand it just means the rewrite rules did not change the url.

rewrite mod-rewrite apache-2.4

    Yes, that is just a debug notice, due to some previous testing I suspect. This should not be enabled on a production server.

    You need to look for the LogLevel directive in the server config / virtual host. This can be set for specific modules or the server as a whole. For example, if it's only set for mod_rewrite, then you may find something like:

    LogLevel rewrite:trace3

    (The record from your log is a "trace1" level message, it goes up to "trace8" if you have that LogLevel enabled in the server config.)

    Either remove / comment out this rule entirely (the default is warn / warning conditions) or explicitly set it to:

    LogLevel warn

    You'll obviously need to restart Apache after making this change.
