WordPress Permalinks Broken

Permalink Problem

Inside of this file, we want to change all things.

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

000-default.conf - should look something like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html

        <Directory /var/www/html/>
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride All
            Require all granted
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

When you are finished, save and close the file.

Next, we need to enable the rewrite module, which allows you to modify URLs. You can do this by typing:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

After you have made these changes, restart Apache:

sudo service apache2 restart

If you’ve followed the initial steps and you’ve not been able to get rewrite to work for you, do the following ::: <br> <br>Firstly it’s important you restart the apache2 server without any errors, ( Restarting web server apache2 : error … ) ::: If you do get this error do the folllowing ::: <br> <br>1) sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf <br>2) Add, ServerName localhost <br> <br> <br>Open up the following file, and replace every occurrence of “AllowOverride None” with “AllowOverride all” <br> <br>1) sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default <br>2) sudo service apache2 restart

Im having an odd issue with this, that on google I find was relevant, and the fixes work, from wordpress 2.5 (im on 4.3)

Permalinks work, if I make the structure “/index.php/%postname%” Anything else… doesnt work. Any ideas ??? :)
