Trying to find where redirect on apache server is happening

I have a redirect on my website that immediately redirects to however, I can not find the location of the redirect.

I removed the entire site so it is not coming from the home dir. I checked all .htaccess files.

Is there a way to increase logs to the point of showing me where the redirect is occurring?

You probably figured out by now, but here a couple of tips:

1. First one, check that you don't have some .htaccess doing the redirection (you already did that)
2. Make a grep -R wordpress on the /etc/apache2/ directory, to see if you find some redirection
3. Very important: Erase the cache of your browser! Or use a different one :)

Here is someone else who had a similar problem.

So, for versions before 2.4, add:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "/var/log/apache2/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 3

to the apache.conf file. And for newer ones, just:

LogLevel alert rewrite:trace6
