Wordpress: .htaccess file won’t work with Apache 2

Posted by Runar Svendsen on April 07, 2009

I recently installed Wordpress on an Ubuntu 8.10 image and permalinks wouldn’t work properly. I would only get a 404 File Not Found error when I enabled the pretty URL permalink structure. The Permalink function in Wordpress relies on a small URL rewrite statement that Wordpress puts in the .htaccess file at the root folder of your WP installation:

# BEGIN WordPress

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


# END WordPress

Turns out there is a setting in Apache that disables the .htaccess files by default. So you have to enable this to allow the .htaccess files to be processed. The setting is called AllowOverride, and you must set this to All (it probably is set to None right now).

Change your Apache virtual host config file to something like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@server.com

        DocumentRoot /var/www/

        <Directory />
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
....
