    I am setting up a wordpress page on an ubuntu server with Apache/2.4.6 (Ubuntu).

    Here is what I did:

    I enabled rewrite mod with
    : a2enmod rewrite
    Changed “AllowOverride None” to “AllowOverride All” in apache2.conf
    :vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

    <Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all denied
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

    Restarted apache2 server
    : sudo service apache2 restart

    But I am still getting 404 error on my perma link wordpress page..

    What Am I missing?

    What does the .htaccess file in the WP root folder look like?

    An easy trap to fall into, is to not have .htaccess writable by the web hosting application. Unless apache can write to .htaccess it cannot enable permalinks.
    Make sure .htaccess is mode 777
    Once you have the settings there you can restrict the permissions, this is not so important on your localhost, but is significant on a hosted website.
