Sure, but I might miss the forest through the trees.

Read it again, also
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritelog,
still unsure.

If I specify RewriteLog within the server context it does not write the
logfile. If I specify RewriteLog within the virtual host context, it
does. RewriteLog is the only option I change, I do not touch any other
options.

2, specified in both, the server and the vhost context.

I hope so. The vhost context is just ~20 lines below the server context.

Yes.

Sure. As mentioned before, when specifiying the (no doubt identical)
directive within the vhost it works like a charm.

No. But see above.

Server context:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog /var/www/logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 2

Vhost context:
RewriteEngine on
#RewriteLog /var/www/logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 2
$some_conditions_and_rules

=> Rewrite works, logging does not.

Server context:
RewriteEngine on
(#)RewriteLog /var/www/logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 2

Vhost context:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog /var/www/logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 2
$some_conditions_and_rules

=> Rewrite works, so does logging.
Also removed the "<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>" tags, no difference.
