Clean default wordpress installation, all fine, just when I change permalinks in wordpress settings to post name, the default wordpress post is given 404 not found. Any help would be appreciated.

be sure to add mod_rewrite and restart apache after that

sudo a2enmod rewrite

sudo service apache2 restart

Ok, found the solution, 

<Directory /path/to/site>
     #add the following setting to allow .htaccess in your web dir to work
     AllowOverride All

     #other settings ---

</Directory>

and thats in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file

    I have the same problem.

    Unfortunately, the solution you found didn’t work for me.

    Terrible experience with this DO “1-click” install. I think it would be faster if I had created a clean CentOS and done everything myself… nothing works: permissions, rewrite, etc.
