Hello, all. I'm a web designer, not a server person, but over a week ago my hosting provider switched from straight Apache to LWS and my pretty URLs are no longer working. I was hoping someone here can help me out, because the support at said hosting seems to not have a clue (it's been 9 days).

The new server is running LiteSpeed/5.4.8 Enterprise.

The line in question that's failing is this:

Code: 
RewriteRule ^essays/([^/]*)$ /essays?essay=$1 [L]
I tried putting ^/?essays... along with some other lines about LWS cache I've read elsewhere, but I'm not sure what the disconnect is. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Abby

Thank you. I have removed the [L], but the pages still come back as 404 error. Here is my full .htaccess:

Code: 
ErrorDocument   404     /404.php

<IfModule LiteSpeed>
CacheLookup public on
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^blog/([^/]*)$ /blog?essay=$1
RewriteRule ^services/([^/]*)$ /services?service=$1
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ $1\.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L, R=301]
</IfModule>

# BEGIN cPanel-generated php ini directives, do not edit
# Manual editing of this file may result in unexpected behavior.
# To make changes to this file, use the cPanel MultiPHP INI Editor (Home >> Software >> MultiPHP INI Editor)
# For more information, read our documentation (https://go.cpanel.net/EA4ModifyINI)
<IfModule php5_module>

</IfModule>
# END cPanel-generated php ini directives, do not edit

# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “ea-php72” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
<IfModule mime_module>
  AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php72 .php .php7 .phtml
</IfModule>
# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
This rule:
Code: 
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ $1\.php [NC]
appears to be working just fine, but whenever I try to go to my /blog/blog-entry-slug page, it returns a 404 error (this was all working like a champ before they migrated my accounts to a LWS server.

Thank you again!

it turns out that I had to explicitly call the file with the .php extension for it to work. Thank you for your help!

Code: 
RewriteRule ^blog/([^/]*)$ /blog.php?essay=$1
