The first element is the key and the second element is the value.

If you have any document root level rewrite rules from .htaccess, you should instead create a static context with uri "/" and add the rewrite rules there.<br/><br/> A rewrite rule is comprised of one <span class="val">RewriteRule</span> directive and optionally preceded by multiple <span class="val">RewriteCond</span> directives. <ul> <li>Each directive should take only one line.</li> <li> <span class="val">RewriteCond</span> and <span class="val">RewriteRule</span> follow Apache's rewrite directive syntax. Just copy and paste rewrite directives from your Apache configuration files. </li> <li> There are minor differences between LiteSpeed and Apache mod_rewrite implementation: <ul> <li> <span class="val">%\{LA-U:variable\}</span> and <span class="val">%\{LA-F:variable\}</span> are ignored by the LiteSpeed rewrite engine </li> <li> Two new server variables are added in the LiteSpeed rewrite engine: <span class="val">%\{CURRENT_URI\}</span> represents the current URI being processed by the rewrite engine and <span class="val">%\{SCRIPT_NAME\}</span> has the same meaning as the corresponding CGI environment variable. </li> <li> The LiteSpeed rewrite engine will stop processing rewrite rules after encountering an <span class="val">[L]</span> flag to avoid looping while Apache mod_rewrite will stop processing rewrite rules for the current iteration only. This behavior is similar to that of the <span class="val">[END]</span> flag in Apache mod_rewrite. </li> </ul> </li> </ul><br/> The implementation of LiteSpeed's rewrite engine follows Apache's rewrite engine specifications.
