Openlitespeed doesn't recognise rewrite base rewrites

[wanah]

Hello,

I've just started testing openlitespeed. I had to modify my rewrite rules from :

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forum\.html$ /forum/index.php [QSA,L,NC]

to :

RewriteRule ^/forum\.html$ /forum/index.php [QSA,L,NC]

Is this normal ?

Thanks

this looks ok. but where the rules is put in ? open litespeed doestn't support .htaccess
the full list:

I put it in the openlitespeed admin pannel.

I expected :

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forum\.html$ /forum/index.php [QSA,L,NC]

to work but it did not and it seems that openlitespeed doesn't understand RewriteBase which is a shame as losts of script except this code to work.

Howdy,

The important thing to remember here is that the WebAdmin console acts like an httpd.conf file. The RewriteBase directive is only for .htaccess files. We may figure out a workaround for this in the future, but, for the time being, just remember that all rewrites should be written as though they are going into an .htaccess file.

Cheers,

Michael

Hello Michael, I'm sorry but I think you have said two different things :

he WebAdmin console acts like an httpd.conf file
just remember that all rewrites should be written as though they are going into an .htaccess file.

So should I write the rewrites like a .htaccess file or like httpd.conf file ? Because the rewrites that didn't work were taken from an existing .htacess file that works with litespeed enterprise.

Oops. Yes, all rewrites should be written as though they are going into an httpd.conf file...

Sorry about that...

OK thanks, shame I was hopeing it was possible to copy / paste the contents of the main .htaccess file to the openlitespeed web admin…

I understand completely. This is something we will be considering in the future as we try to make OpenLiteSpeed easier to use.

Cheers,

Michael
