Help translating a htaccess redirect from Apache to OLS (WordPress permalink)

[webbasica]

I can't seem to find the correct way to add a redirect line in a htaccess file, after changing the WordPress permalink structure.
Basically I want to translate this Apache line to OLS:

RewriteRule ^[0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]

How hard would it be to build a tool that translates Apache htaccess code to OLS?

The rewrite rule should work with OLS, please try to enable the rewrite log and see if the request matches it or not.

Sadly, there isn't much documentation about this setting on Directadmin.

https://docs.directadmin.com/webservices/openlitespeed/customizing-ols.html
At line 54, there is a rewrite section like this:

 rewrite  {
   enable                  1
   autoLoadHtaccess        1
   |FORCE_SSL_REDIRECT|
 }

Please try to insert logLevel 9 into it, e.g.

 rewrite  {
   enable                  1
   autoLoadHtaccess        1
   logLevel                9
   |FORCE_SSL_REDIRECT|
 }

Thanks, that's very helpful!
Shouldn't I also set the RewriteLog directive?
Something like:

# Log to a file:
RewriteLog "/usr/local/var/apache/logs/rewrite.log"

If not, where would I look for the logged information?

No need, you should see the rewrite log from the server/virtual host error log.

That's what I read on the Litespeed documentation page, but it's not showing up in the error log. I'll try restarting and rebuilding everything. One thing I did different, I used Directadmin's tool (under Custom 5) to add the logLevel line. So mine looks like this:

  rewrite  {
    enable                  1
    autoLoadHtaccess        1
    # Mail auto configuration (Thunderbird)
    RewriteRule ^/\.well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1\.1\.xml$ http://dainternal/$0 [P,L]
rules <<<END_rules
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (PetalBot|MJ12bot|SemrushBot|Mediatoolkitbot|Mail\.RU_Bot|DotBot|Superfeedr|CriteoBot|linkfluence) [NC]
RewriteRule ^.* - [F,L]
END_rules
logLevel                9
  }

Oh, forgot to mention, you might also want to make sure the server/virtual host error log level is set to "INFO"
