.htaccess not loading on subdirectory (2 levels)

Hello guys, how are you? =)

I'm working on hundreds of OLS installations for a managed cloud hosting, and I started to notice a common problem:
If I have the following dir structure, the last .htaccess doesn't get read:
/srv/user/www/.htaccess
/srv/user/www/dir1/.htaccess
/srv/user/www/dir1/dir2/.htaccess

I have to move the dir2/.htaccess content to dir1/.htaccess and change the RewriteBase and RewriteRules to apply any rule to dir2/

I have a Wordpress generated .htaccess on www/.htaccess
Then I have a single rule .htaccess on dir1/.htaccess redirecting all requests to dir1/info.php
And finally I have another single rule .htaccess on dir1/dir2/.htaccess redirecting all requests to dir1/dir2/info.php

When I try to access something on dir1/dir2 in the browser, I got the following log:

2019-07-30 11:37:25.590607 [INFO] RewriteFile [/srv/user/www/.htaccess] parsed, return 0.
2019-07-30 11:37:37.799877 [INFO] RewriteBase [/dir1/] parsed, set to HttpContext 0x266a490.
2019-07-30 11:37:37.800335 [INFO] RewriteFile [/srv/user/www/dir1/.htaccess] parsed, return 0.

OLS is not parsing any .htaccess after the first subdirectory, it seems. Is this a known limitation, or is it a bug?

If you are using ols 1.5.3, can you try run command
/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/testbeta.sh 1.5.4
to use my latest version which just fixed a autoloadhtaccess bug?

Oh right, I forgot to say. I'm using OLS 1.4.49 :/
I tried the 1.5.4 now, but no luck yet. I even tried to remove the dir1/.htaccess and leave only dir1/dir2/.htaccess, but same thing. The .htaccess from dir2 never gets read.

Yeah, still not working :/

OK.
Did you set auto load .htaccess?
If yes, every context, when it contains a such file, it will be automatically loaded.

Yep, on my vhost I have the following:

Code: 
rewrite  {
  enable                  1
  autoLoadHtaccess        1
}
Like I said, every .htaccess is being load at root and root/firstDir. Only when the htaccess is inside another directory it doesn't load, like root/firstDir/secondDir/.htaccess
I tried on Ubuntu 14, 16 and 18. I can try on CentOS 7 too, if you want...

Here is my dir structure:

Code: 
root@:/srv/xxxxxxx/www# find dir1
dir1
dir1/info.php
dir1/.htaccess
dir1/dir2
dir1/dir2/info.php
dir1/dir2/.htaccess

Yes, setting a context works. I tried this:
Code: 
context /dir1/dir2 {
allowBrowse             1
  rewrite  {
    enable                  1
    autoLoadHtaccess        1
  }
}
2019-07-31 16:03:21.381490 [INFO] RewriteFile [/srv/XXXXX/www/dir1/dir2/.htaccess] parsed, return 0.

And the rewrite worked.

it also worked

2019-07-31 16:13:01.903635 [INFO] [config:server:vhosts:vhost:xxxxxxxxx] config context /dir1/dir2.
2019-07-31 16:13:01.903747 [INFO] RewriteFile [/srv/xxxxxxxxx/www/dir1/dir2/.htaccess] parsed, return 0.

Oh, ok, so it is a known limitation... =)
I will talk to our staff so they know they should create a context to fix any .htaccess not being read.

Thanks!

If you can set debug log to debug
Code: 
errorlog logs/error.log {
  logLevel                DEBUG
  debugLevel              10
  rollingSize             10M
  enableStderrLog         1
}
You may see the context of .../dir2/ will be auto created when first time access a file inside, and you may see log about loading the .htaccess.
If you see it, can you tell me.
Actually this feature is designed to be this way.

Hi, sorry the delay, was out of office already. =/

So, I disabled the previous context and enable the log to debug as you asked. The context of /dir2/ wasnt created.
When I requested something from dir1/dir2, only dir1 context is created:

Code: 
2019-08-01 10:51:17.437870 [NOTICE] [Child: 15211] LiteSpeed/1.4.50 Open starts successfully!
2019-08-01 10:51:44.086451 [INFO] RewriteBase [/dir1/] parsed, set to HttpContext 0x2865d60.
2019-08-01 10:51:44.086842 [INFO] RewriteFile [/srv/xxxxx/www/dir1/.htaccess] parsed, return 0.

I mean it should be auto created when first time access a file inside dir2, but not at the beginning time.
I will do more testing to make it work.
BTW what type of file you are accessing in dir2?

This is the .htaccess content on dir1:
Code: 
RewriteBase /dir1/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ info.php [L,QSA]
And this is the .htaccess content on dir2:
Code: 
RewriteBase /dir1/dir2/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ info.php [L,QSA]
dir1/info.php returns:
This is a PHP file on dir1

dir1/dir2/info.php returns:
This is a PHP file on dir2

Any request on dir1/, for example, dir1/adfigadf returns:
This is a PHP file on dir1

With a context set to /dir1/dir2, any request to dir1/dir2 returns:
This is a PHP file on dir2

Without the context block, any request to dir1/dir2 returns:
This is a PHP file on dir1

When we removed the context block, the only .htaccess parsed when something is requested on dir2 is the .htaccess from dir1. If I create a context block like u suggested before, then the .htaccess from dir2 is parsed and the request returns "file on dir2".

I tried to remove RewriteBase from the .htaccess, same result.
