Rewrite not working but does on the paid version of Litespeed...Why?

[dpitzer]

Hello,

I have an openlitespeed install setup for development, but the company is using a paid version in production.

Everything is working but the rewrites.

The server has only openlitespeed, MariaDB, HHVM and PHP 7.2 for wp cli. No Apache is installed. It's running WordPress.

The errors I am getting are attached in error.log. The actual htaccess file is attached also.

Settings in the Virtual Host:



Example of a set of rules in .htaccess:

<files .htaccess>
    <IfModule mod_litespeed.c>
        Order allow,deny
        Deny from all
    </IfModule>
</files>
<files readme.html>
    <IfModule mod_litespeed.c>
        Order allow,deny
        Deny from all
    </IfModule>
</files>
<files readme.txt>
    <IfModule mod_litespeed.c>
        Order allow,deny
        Deny from all
    </IfModule>
</files>
<files wp-config.php>
    <IfModule mod_litespeed.c>
        Order allow,deny
        Deny from all
    </IfModule>
</files>
<Files  ~ "\.log$">
  <IfModule mod_litespeed.c>
        Order allow,deny
        Deny from all
    </IfModule>
</Files>

The errors are below :

Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated as I am lost here.

Thank you!

These rules are not rewrite rules. Only rewrie rules work in .htacesss on openlitespeed.

 

[David]

Just like the log info, the directives are not supported in openlitespeed.

 

[dpitzer]

Thank you both. So how/where could I implement the example above in openlitespeed?

It will need to be one by one case, for deny to some files or directory, you can use rewrite rules. or create context within OLS and set deny there.
