I have my wordpress website the homepage opens fine rest all doesnt..

Hello there,

You’ll need a .htaccess file in order to serve the inner pages of the website.

The .htaccess is a distributed configuration file and is how Apache handles configuration changes on a per-directory basis.

WordPress uses this file to manipulate how Apache serves files from its root directory, and subdirectories thereof. Most notably, WP modifies this file to be able to handle pretty permalinks.

This page may be used to restore a corrupted .htaccess file (e.g. a misbehaving plugin).

Basic WP

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

Hope that this helps!

Hi,

Is this the one-click Wordpress app? If so, check out this tutorial for all the information:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/one-click-install-wordpress-on-ubuntu-14-04-with-digitalocean

The credentials are show in the console when you first log in: <pre> Your /wp-admin is protected by Apache using .htaccess credentials: User: admin Pass: XXXXXXXX </pre> The tutorial has an explanation of how to disable it.

I am a newbie to VPS so will need a STEP BY STEP Guide to this kindly bear with me.

Actually before this someone else had set it up. Now tell me how can I access .htaccess and what to configure in it?
