LiteSpeed htaccess not working | Troubleshooting Tips

If your LiteSpeed .htaccess is not working, our experts have your back. Here are a few troubleshooting tips to help you get back on track in no time.

• Incorrect configuration:

  If the LiteSpeed server is configured incorrectly to read and process the .htaccess file, we will run into trouble. In this scenario, our experts recommend checking the configuration. Furthermore, make sure the right directives are set.
• Incompatibility with LiteSpeed:

  Did you know that all .htaccess directives are not compatible with LiteSpeed? In fact, some directives are specific to Apache or other web servers, and will not work with LiteSpeed. Hence, we have to verify the directives we are using are compatible with LiteSpeed.
• Syntax errors:

  Interestingly, a commonly seen cause behind the error is syntax errors in your .htaccess file. This prevents LiteSpeed from reading and processing the file. In this case, ensure the .htaccess file does not have any syntax errors.
• Permissions:

  If the .htaccess file does not have the correct permissions, it prevents LiteSpeed from reading and processing the file. Hence, we have to check the file permissions to ensure that the file is readable by LiteSpeed.
• Cache:

  In case recent changes were made changes to the .htaccess file, it may be the reason behind the error. Here, our experts recommend clearing the LiteSpeed cache for the changes to take effect.
