Rewrite help when files do NOT have a ".php" extension

[pk899]

OK, I did this: 

1. Rebuilt nginx with "with-debug" 
2. Added another line to my nginx.conf: 

    debug_connection  MY IP ADDRESS; 
    log_format combined2 '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local]  '
                  '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent '
                  '"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent"';
    error_log logs/error.log debug; 
    access_log logs/access.mine.log; 
    

3. Then restarted the server. 

My error_log and access_log are still empty after I visit several pages
of the website. 

What else do I need to do?
