QGIS 3.4 server on Windows 10: enable logging without fcgid?

I'm running QGIS 3.4 server on Windows 10. The docs here say that you need to add these lines to httpd.conf to enable QGIS server logging:

  FcgidInitialEnv QGIS_SERVER_LOG_FILE /var/log/qgis/qgisserver.log
  FcgidInitialEnv QGIS_SERVER_LOG_LEVEL 0

(Those lines are also referenced in several other: here and here for example)

But those only work if mod_fcgid is installed. Apparently you have to jump through some moving-target hoops to install mod_fcgid on Windows.

Is there a way to enable QGIS server logging without mod_fcgid?

QGIS_SERVER_LOG_FILE is deprecated and will be removed in QGIS 4. It's replaced by QGIS_SERVER_LOG_STDERR. You can have a look to docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_ogc/… I'm not sure how it works on windows.

Thanks, that is good to know and I will use _STDERR when this is all figured out. I was hoping you could just use SetEnv in place of FcgidInitialEnv - I tried SetEnv, and the server started but nothing appeared in the specified log file even after making sure the permissions were fully open.
