Restart the apache service to enact the changes:

View response data with this command:

cat error.log | cut -f8- -d':' | egrep -v ' [0-9]+ bytes$' | grep -v '^$' | cut -c2- | sed 's/\\r\\n//'

while true; do cat error.log | cut -f8- -d':' | egrep -v ' [0-9]+ bytes$' | grep -v '^$' | cut -c2- | sed 's/\\r\\n//'; sleep 5; done
