Rewritelog on apache 2.2.x

i must be doing something wrong

in httpd.conf i added:
RewriteLog "/var/log/apache2/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 9

In my virtualhost config file i added:
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^test\.html$ index.html

So, basically rewriting requests for 'test.html' to 'index.html'
( i have to start somewhere

When i restart apache, and try to test the above, the rewrite.log file
stays empty

Which step did i miss to get this logging active?
The rewrite part seems to work as expected.

just found the answer on #apache (irc.freenode.net)

the two lines i did put in my httpd.conf should be in my vhost config
file, but not in the Directory section of it, so somewhere below ServerName
