Word press site was working only in default permalink settings. After modifying it to month and name, page not found error occurred
WordPress Permalinks not working : error 404
Then I checked the .htaccess file in the WordPress root directory.
# BEGIN WordPressRewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]# END WordPress
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]# END WordPress
Everything was perfect, but the site links were not working
Then I modified the apache httpd.conf file and made the following changes.
Enable mod_rewrite (Already enabled)
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Enable Follow symbolic links option and AllowOverride option
< Directory / >
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
< /Directory > Everything started working
httpd.confg file
< VirtualHost * >
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wordpress/
ServerName myserver.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^TRACE
RewriteRule .* – [F]
< Directory “/var/www/html/wordpress/” >
allow from all
Options FollowSymLinks -Indexes
