How To: mod_rewrite & vhost config

[mattium]

Part of trying to debug some rewrite rules defined by .htaccess in various directories I'd like to set the mod_rewrite log level to 9 as per standard:

RewriteLogLevel 9

And a bunch of other rewrite-related configs - rewritebase, rewritelog etc.

Q. Where and how does one define custom httpd.conf files for include as part of virtual hosting, I've tried the following directories with out joy:

/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/foobar.conf
/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/foobar.conf
/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/myuser/mydomain/foobar.conf

I've 'reloaded' the config through myriad combinations as shown above with:

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller --update
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/build_apache_conf

So am I being silly? - what am I missing to 'mess' with the configs - clearly I don't want to 'conflict' with cpanel updates/changes etc.

Thanks,

I've 'HUP' SIG'd httpd too btw

...but still without joy.
