Apache configuration: how to get quick feedback?
When writing configuration files for Apache web server I would like to have a quick feedback loop.
I, for example have a script that doesn't seem to work. It is either not picked up, or the variables I use are not set, or maybe overriding is not allowed. How to debug this?
I expected to at least print some debug log statements like REQUEST_URI: %{REQUEST_URI}. Can't find such a thing.

apachectl is a front end to the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. It is designed to help the administrator control the functioning of the Apache httpd daemon.
Here is a link to the documentation.
Different platform might use different binary names such as apache, apache2 or apache2ctl. To test the configuration - just run:
apachectl configtest
# or, depending on your OS
httpd -t
EDIT
If you are trying to debug your virtual host configuration, you may find the Apache -S command line switch useful. That is, type the following command:
httpd -S
This command will dump out a description of how Apache parsed the configuration file
