I followed the guide on installing Wordpress on Ubuntu 12. Everything is working fine, except for when I change my permalink structure to Month/Post Name. The main blog page works, but post links throw a 404 error.
I tried a few things:
- Enabled mod_rewrite with a2enmod rewrite and restarted Apache
- Set permissions to .htaccess to 777 so Wordpress could update the file as needed when I updated the Permalink settings.
Is there something else I’m missing here to get this working?

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 ??? :)
