  We calculate the production rate of the Higgs boson at the LHC in the context
of general 5 dimensional (5D) warped scenarios with spacetime background
modified from the usual $AdS_5$, and where all the SM fields, including the
Higgs, propagate in the bulk. This modification can alleviate considerably the
bounds coming from precision electroweak tests and flavor physics. We evaluate
the Higgs production rate and show that it is generically consistent with the
current experimental results from the LHC for Kaluza-Klein (KK) masses as low
as 2 TeV, unlike in pure $AdS_5$ scenarios, where for the same masses, the
Higgs production typically receives corrections too large to be consistent with
LHC data. Thus the new pressure on warped models arising from LHC Higgs data is
also alleviated in $AdS_5$-modified warped scenarios.
