LiteSpeed servers do not read .htaccess file

Hi guys,
My LiteSpeed servers do not read .htaccess file.
I’ve been reading online, and found that rules will need to be added explicitly via the control panel, but I haven’t found a step by step tutorial. Please can someone guide me on how to achieve this or send me to a video lesson that can walk me through it?
Looking forward to your answers and thanks in advance.

how you know the OLS is not read .htaccess ?

I recently moved an application from my apache powered shared hosting server to my cyberpanel server. It couldn’t load index page. I contacted app developer, and he said:

Some LiteSpeed servers do not read .htaccess file. Rules will need to be added explicitly via the control panel. You might need to copy the .htaccess file content and paste it to your litespeed configuration via the control panel.

how ? so we can learn fron this case

I deleted that website and started afresh. I re-added it, re-uploaded files, I re-installed ssl. Then i went to rewrite rules and forced all connections through https.

That did the magic.
