Thanks to all your effort to answer my question. The problem was with my domain. The step is different for SSL Enabled domain. I got answer from Enable mod_rewrite in apache2 SSL Enabled Domain
Thanks again
im also facing same issue, after applying above steps also its not working
In case anyone came looking for an answer to “Ubuntu 16.04 One-click Wordpress install” permalinks not working, the solution for me was to enable mod_rewrite using:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart
Hope this helps
You should have correct .htaccess in location of WordPress’s index.php file. This is in place where you installed WordPress, usually /var/www/html.
Open .htaccess file in your favourite text editor:
- nano /var/www/html/.htaccess
Make sure it have following:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Optional: Just in case to be sure it will use latest changes restart Apache with:
- sudo systemctl restart apache
My site address was https://www.alaneesqatar.qa
Visit any of the page inside the website, It will say “Page Not found” Error.
I changed the wordpress URL settings… also edited the apache 80 port file… Nothing helped me.
I added this
I added the above code to the following file.
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
I hope you got , What my problem really was now.
