   I've been searching for this issue i had and i managed to fix it gladly with some search but i didn't find anyone fixed it here so

   first of all create .htaccess on your website directory it could be /var/www/yourwebsite or any where you installed wordpress on (just move it beside wp-config.php)
   this tutorial require ssh connection i edited this from Terminal after i connected to my Debian/Linux server

   in command line you can make touch .htaccess and then set permission chmod 666 .htaccess and chown www-data:www-data .htaccess

   then change your permalink to default > save it, and then once again, change permalink back to Post Name
   you should see in .htaccess something like

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   Now from command line you should enable rewrite_mod by typing (you need to be root)
   a2enmod rewrite

   and then restart apache by
   /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

   and this fixed the issue for me :)
   hope it fixes yours and this is my first english 'how to' tutorial

   Dude! I have been searching for this for the last 3 hours. None of the posts or threads I read mentioned anything about running a2enmod rewrite. But that was the key. I finally have my blog up and running again. Thank you so much!
