[FIXED] How to use Magento 2 with an openlitespeed (free) web server?

Issue

I'm trying to setup Magento 2.3.0 server with OpenLiteServer and keep on bumping weird Rewrite rule errors:

Here's the full list of errors.

The website is working, but CSS and JS cannot be loaded so there are lot's of 404s

I'm thinking that I may be doing something wrong, or that OpenLiteSpeed does not support all of those commands inside the .htaccess files.

The magento 2 installation is just a basic magento 2.3.0 composer installation without anything added to it, and thus is set to default mode.

The file permissions are looking good too, but note that files are missing from the pub/static/frontend/luma/en_US/ directory:

Any hints?

Thank you

Solution

Assuming that the website is under /magento2 you'll need to insert the rewrites on the virtual host, at the rewrites section, enable the rewrite module as well.

  RewriteRule ^/magento2/pub/static/version.+?/(.+)$ /magento2/pub/static/$1 [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
  RewriteRule /magento2/pub/static/.* /magento2/pub/static.php?resource=$0 [L]
  RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^TRAC[EK]
  RewriteRule .* - [L,R=405]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
  RewriteRule .* /magento2/index.php [L]
