Instant Load .htaccess Without Server Restart on OpenLiteSpeed

taicao

I've been using OLSPanel recently and its 'Instant Load .htaccess' feature for OpenLiteSpeed is a game changer—no restart needed! Has anyone figured out how to get this working on aaPanel? I'd love some guidance. Thanks!

Hello, It is recommended that you check whether the file has been modified every 5 minutes through the cron shell script, and restart the service automatically if it is modified.:

#!/bin/bash

# Define an array of files to monitor
watch_files=(
  "/www/wwwroot/135log.com/.htaccess"
  "/www/wwwroot/2.com/.htaccess"
  "/www/wwwroot/3.com/.htaccess"
)

# Check if any of the files have been modified within the last 5 minutes
for file in "${watch_files[@]}"
do
  if [ "$(find "$file" -mmin -5)" ]
  then
    echo "File $file has changed, restarting OpenLiteSpeed server..."
    /usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl restart
    break
  fi
done

aaPanel_Kern Is there any way to avoid restarting OpenLiteSpeed, similar to how OLSPanel does it in the link below?

Thank you for the practical recommendation and the clear cron script example — it’s a straightforward and reliable way to monitor .htaccess changes and automatically restart OpenLiteSpeed when needed, which really helps maintain stability.

You can try to reload the service
/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl reload
