Problem with access_log whose names contain variables!

Description

When we configure access_log directive contain variables (like this: access_log /data0/logs/nginx/$Site.access.log main_debug;) and if a request meet some conditions and uri will be rewritten to others, then this request will not be logged to access logfile. Look at following example

Here are the details of the configuration
server{

set $Site www.test.com;
listen 80;
server_name www.test.com test.com;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
root /data0/web/$Site;

location / {

if (!-e $request_filename) {

rewrite /(.*)$ /index.php/$1 last;

}

}

location ~ .+\.php($|/) {

fastcgi_pass unix:/dev/shm/php-cgi-$Site.sock;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_split_path_info (.+\.php)(.*)$;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;

}
access_log /data0/logs/nginx/$Site.access.log main_debug;

}

For exmaple, nginx handles a http request like http://www.test.com/aaaa ,if web root directory doesn't have aaaa file or aaaa directory,then the request uri will be rewritten and pass to PHP. whatever status code that PHP return to nginx and nginx return to user. this request can't be logged to access logfile. so if access_log directive contain variables and request rewritten,then request will not be logged.
I want to use access_log directive with variables to convenient configuration and I also need to log all request, so I don't know how to do?
My English is so bad, I don't know if you know what I mean.

JFYI: http://nginx.org/en/docs/faq/variables_in_config.html

I know use variables is costly,but I see the documentation http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_log_module.html#access_log ,we can use open_log_file_cache to reduce frequency that open log file. and I also use "include" to make the configuration simple,but I also want to use variables to make configuration more simple, My true configuration is like this.

nginx.conf
server
{

set $Site www.test.com;
listen 80;
server_name www.test.com test.com;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
root /data0/web/$Site;

location / {

if (!-e $request_filename) {

rewrite /(.*)$ /index.php/$1 last;

}

}
include setup/common/*.conf;
include setup/php/thinkphp.conf;

}

setup/common/access_log.conf
access_log /data0/logs/nginx/$Site.access.log main_debug;

this "inclue"+"variables" can make the project deployment more simple,I just want to change the $Site and the server_name,I will be able to deploy a new project.

the following is error_log messages,the "/data0/web/www.test.com" is real existence and directory permissions is true. I'm thinking this is not a bug? if you need, I can paste the debug log.
2016/08/16 18:08:44 [error] 93364#0: *17 testing "/data0/web/www.test.com" existence failed (2: No such file or directory) while logging request, client: 192.168.15.1, server: www.test.com, request: "GET /asdfasdfsd HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/dev/shm/php-cgi-www.test.com.sock", host: "www.test.com"

Could you show your full configuration, not just the server part?

Please, provide also the output of namei -nl /data0/web/www.test.com command.

I've tested almost the same configuration and it worked fine. Please, make sure that it's not your SELinux policy prevents nginx from accessing this folder. Try to disable SELinux and test again.

I've disabled SELinux. Can you show me your configuration? I'd like to use your configuration to test it again.

Resolution: worksforme
Status: newclosed

Closing this, this doesn't looks like a bug in nginx. From the logs it is clear that nginx cannot find the directory specified. It is up to debugging a particular system to find out why this happens. Likely there is either a typo hidden by trying to anonymize configuration files provided, or something weird happening at OS level.
