Unfortunately, RewriteLogLevel can be set in the "server config" and "virtual host" contexts only. (You can make this type of determination in the future by visiting the manual page and looking for the "context" value: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriteloglevel .) This is one of many reasons for which hosting on a VPS over which you have complete control is beneficial. In any case, we'll have to proceed without access to the rewrite log. Is there a specific reason for which you're using "./index.php" in the right-hand side of the rule? I'm referring to the period ("."), in particular. This may well be the source of the problem. It could be that mod_php interprets that relative path (./index.php) "correctly", whereas mod_fcgid does not.
