OpenLiteSpeed .htaccess changes do not apply automatically

ENTITY: ols_fanatic INITIATE DEPLOYS: Jun 17, 2026 SECTOR: GENERAL
When my clients edit their .htaccess file, the rewrite rules do not apply until I manually restart OpenLiteSpeed. I thought OLS supported automatic .htaccess reading?

Check if the htaccess watcher service is running. BoostonCP registers a wrapper daemon called `ols_htaccess_watcher` in systemd. It monitors vhost directories and gracefully reloads OLS when a .htaccess file is edited.
