.htaccess, 404 error and LAMP server
In my fresh LAMP server, after updating WordPress permalink settings as acustom one, I got 404 error for all pages and posts.
After some searchs and readings, simply I can fix this issue.
First we want to enable the rewrite module in APACHE web server.
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Then restart the web server to apply the changes:
sudo service apache2 restart
In WordPress, it utilize .htaccess file to updates its Apache and PHP configuration. That means we are using mod_rewrite in .htaccess files.
If we are using mod_rewrite in .htaccess files, we also want to enable the use of .htaccess files by changing AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All.
For the default website, edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default.conf or /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf:
<Directory var/www/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
After such a change, we want to restart Apache again.
sudo service apache2 restart
