Rewrites not working on Openlitespeed Install

[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 httaccess file is attached also.

Example of some of the errors are below:

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

Thank you!

On openlitespeed, only rewrite rules work in .htaccess. all the rest configurations including "redirect" "header" etc won't work. that's why the error log saying "invalid rewrite directive".

maybe you can consider LiteSpeed Enterprise free version for your dev environment.
