Wordpress Permalinks - CentoOS 7

Posted on July 12, 2015

Hi All,

I can’t seem to have permalinks working on my CentOS 7 environment.

I have already created a .htaccess and I can see the Load Module commands done by Wordpress. I also have Mod_rewrite installed already.

Additionally, I have changed the AllowOverride from None to All under <Directory "/var/www/html">

I have also followed the Getting Started Series guide and the LAMP Stack Guide here.

Any thoughts?

After much research, I found the solution:

  1. sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
  2. Type this in /AllowOverride
  3. Find the second one with <Directory “/var/www”>
  4. Underneath that write the following code:
<Directory "/var/www/domain.com/public_html">
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Thank you @CrypticDesigns for helping out too! Much appreciated.

Oh…I thought you did this already in the first post of your question. My bad, could have told you this earlier. Anayway good you got it solved, if you have any more questions you can come here again.

Allright looks good to me, what you could try is to delete this .htaccess , then create a new one , keep it empty , chown it to your webserver and chmod it to 664. Then in wordpress try to switch the permsalink option twice, and check the content of .htaccesss. Then if the content automatically created looks good, restart apache.
