AccessLogFile Fail Fallback

Last week, I had the designated log file (for a particular VirtualHost) open in an editor for a very brief amount of time, and made some edits, while Hiawatha 9.3 (upgrading is on my TODO list) was still running.

I now find that nothing has been logged to that file since that time.

Is it conceivable that Hiawatha found a problem accessing that log file and defaulted to not writing to it anymore? (I do not know if the editor locks the file.)

Should there be an entry in the system log or VirtualHost error log?

I have verified that the editor says it does not lock files while it has the file loaded for editing.

Probably the ownership of access rights has changed, which caused Hiawatha to no longer have access to the logfile.
