   Hi,

   I installed WP 3.4 in a local virtual machine (using Ubuntu). It was installed in "wordpress" directory (/var/www/wordpress/).

   After that, I changed permalinks and I always get a 404 Not Found error if I set them to anything different from default.

   I think my installation, permissions and .htaccess are ok because if I visit http://192.169.1.101/wordpress/?p=1 I am redirected to http://192.169.1.101/wordpress/2012/07/02/hello-world/ and get the 404 error.

   This is my .htaccess, located at /var/www/wordpress/:
   

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

   I also have index.php in that directory.

   This is a fresh installation and I have no plugins yet.

   Any help?
   Thanks.

   Is mod_rewrite allowed in your php.ini file?

   You can check by creating a PHP file containing:

   <?php

   phpinfo();

   ?>

   When you open that file, check if mod_rewrite is enabled.

   Many thanks, my friend. It was not enabled.

   For the record, I followed these instructions in order to enable mod_rewrite in Ubuntu: http://www.techytalk.info/enable-apache-mod_rewrite-on-ubuntu-linux/
