I had the same issue where posts would redirect to a Not Found Apache error. This worked for me: 1. Add .htaccess permission to your Apache config file. Log in as the root user or add writting permissions for the /etc/apache2/apache2.config directory for your current user.

Edit /etc/apache2/apache2.config and add the following tothe bottom of the file.

<Directory /var/www/html>
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

# Other folders with Wordpress installs: (if any)
<Directory /var/html/beta>
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Reset your server by running service apache2 restart.

2. Permalinks update Log in into your wp-admin panel and navigate to settings > permalinks. There press Save Changes.
