Introduction

 

If you are having difficulties with redirects, or are seeing the following error, you may consider enabling rewrite logs for your domain to diagnose the issue. 

Maximum number of redirect reached. 

 

Procedure

 

NOTE: On cPanel servers, LiteSpeed uses Apache configuration files.

 

First, create an Apache include for your domain by using the following instructions:

How to use Apache Includes to add configuration directives to a specific domain's virtualhost

 

Include the following directive in both the std and ssl versions of the Apache include:

<IfModule LiteSpeed>
RewriteLogLevel 9
</IfModule>

 

Then restart LiteSpeed with the following command:

/scripts/restartsrv_apache --restart

 

You may then review the logs at the following location:

/etc/apache2/logs/error_log

 

The following LiteSpeed documentation provides the basis for this guide:
