Wordpress permalinks problem on Ubuntu

Posted on March 15, 2014

I install wordpress and all works fine, only i can’t change my permalinks. When i try to do that i get 404 error. I create .htaccess file in worpdress root folder, below folders wp-admin, wp-content, wp-include…

I paste this in .htaccess

BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

END WordPress

and set permisions to 666. Also mod_rewrite is enable on my server and I restart server too. You can see my error on stuff2share.net [try to open some post]. Do you have any idea what to do? Where i can do this? “Edit your VirtualHost config making sure AllowOverride is set to all.” On my server i have 3 domain, 3 Virtual hosts but i don’t can’t find AllowOverride there… :/

Manuall add the ‘AllowOverride all’ line to the virtaul hosts <br> <br>For more info http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks <br>

Thank you for your answer. <br> <br>Do I need to put that 'AllowOverride all here? : <br> <br><VirtualHost *:80> <br> # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that <br> # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating <br> # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName <br> # specifies what hostname must appear in the request’s Host: header to <br> # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this <br> # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless. <br> # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly. <br> <br> ServerName stuff2share.net <br> <br> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost <br> DocumentRoot /var/www/stuff2share.net/public_html/ <br> <br> <br> <br> # Available loglevels: trace8, …, trace1, debug, info, notice, warn, <br> # error, crit, alert, emerg. <br> # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular <br> # modules, e.g. <br> #LogLevel info ssl:warn <br> <br> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log <br> CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined <br> <br> # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are <br> # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to <br> # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the <br> # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only <br> # after it has been globally disabled with “a2disconf”. <br> #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf <br></VirtualHost> <br> <br># vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet <br>
