You can try the 4.0rc1 release.

If I remove that RewriteEngine On - the redirect will work properly, even with other rules.

Apparently "RewriteEngine On" causes the rewrite engine in litespeed to reset.
This is not the behaviour in apache, which will ignore it if it's already on.

After study the behavior of Apache rewrite implementation, it is the correct behavior.
If you put only "RewriteEngine On" in a .htaccess without any rewrite rules or "RewriteOptions inherit", Apache will not look for other rewrite rules in parent directories.
Tested it on Apache 2.2 .
So, we will change our rewrite engine implementation to match Apache's.

Oh!
Is that the problem?
Does Litespeed not currently support "RewriteOptions inherit" ?

For some reason I thought it was working on my apache test server without "RewriteOptions inherit" but just double checked now and you are correct, without "RewriteOptions inherit" the www. rewrite rule doesn't recurse.

But it does work with that on, on Apache. Not on litespeed however.

"RewriteOptions inherit" will be added.

Ah, thank you very much.
