In the directory in which the connector modules are installed, there should also be a text file. You should be able to enable the log level from this text file. That said, my guess would be that this is a permissions issue - perhaps the user context of Apache (and thus the connector which runs inline with Apache) doesn't allow execute access to the .cfm files in those sites.
