Yesterday I moved my wordpress blog from old server to DO … everything seems fine, the wordpress site is up and running well on homepage. But the nice permalink is not working, everytime I click link the result is 404.
I saw the tutorial here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-use-the-htaccess-file already did this:
- sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
- AllowOverride All were added
but when:
- sudo service apache2 start
the result is:
- Restarting web server apache2 apache2: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using fatih1.kancingdoortrim.com for ServerName … waiting apache2: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using fatih1.kancingdoortrim.com for ServerName
and still the nice permalink will not work, even after I ‘flush the rewrite rule’ via wordpress’ admin side.
my site is: kancingdoortrim.com here is the record in ‘Zone File’
$TTL 1800 @ IN SOA NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM. hostmaster.kancingdoortrim.com. ( 1393905335 ; last update: 2014-03-04 03:55:35 UTC 3600 ; refresh 900 ; retry 1209600 ; expire 1800 ; ttl ) IN NS NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM. NS NS2.DIGITALOCEAN.COM. NS NS3.DIGITALOCEAN.COM. @ IN A 128.199.220.172
Need help…
Thanks
