.htaccess and WHM Apache Include Editor has No Effect

[TEKFused]

Hello,

I recently upgraded from Apache to Litespeed, and I have multiple directives in the "Apache Includes Editor" in the WHM interface under the "Pre Main Include" for "All Versions."

Examples of these directives include:

# Force HTTPS.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

# Prevent wp-config.php from being accessed.
<Files "wp-config.php">
    Require all denied
</Files>
 
<Directory ~ "(\/home\/.*\/public_html\/.*(wp-content\/uploads))">
    AllowOverride None
    <Files ~ "\.ph(?:p[345]?|t|tml)$">
        Require all denied
    </Files>
</Directory>

These directives no longer work when using Litespeed. How do I get them to work? I also attempted adding them to a .htaccess file within the public_html folder of a user (I removed the "Directory" wrapper), and they still didn't have any effect.

Thanks!

Jake

I did a test on one server
WHM Home »Service Configuration »Apache Configuration »Include Editor -> "Pre Main Include" for "All Versions."
added only

<Files "wp-config.php">
    Require all denied
</Files>

and tested with

#curl -I test.domain.com/wp-config.php
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/html
Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2019 09:09:41 GMT
Server: LiteSpeed

just works as expected.
also put above rule in .htaccess, all works.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure why it isn't working om my server! Was working fine with Apache. Any ideas?
