 * Dear Forum,
 * I have just moved my website to a new server and i have done the following but
   still the permalink aren’t working and keep giving me “Not Found” error.
 * 1. .htaccess file is created by wordpress with the following code:
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /spacemsgdemodefault/
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond%{
   REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /spacemsgdemodefault/index.php [L] </IfModule
   >
 * # END WordPress
 * 2. This didn’t work even. So someone suggested to go to vhosts and change “None”
   to All. That is done too.
 * All this is done but even done the Not found error doesn’t go. Kindly help me
   out here on what i am missing so that i can get my site to work. Please.
 * Regards,
 * Maddy

 * Are you using Apache/httpd or nginx?
 * If the former, you should have
 *     ```
       <Directory /path/to/wordpress>
         AllowOverride All
       </Directory>
       ```
   
 * in your apache/http config file.
 * Make that change and restart Apache/httpd

 * It is running on http config file. Just changed it there and restarted it again
   but that didn’t do the trick. It is still not loading.
 * Kindly suggest something else please.

 * Sorry for replying late. Had no access of email for sometime.
 * Relevant content from apache2 is given below. Please remember the blog is hosted
   on the domain that looks something like this.
 * dev.mdomain.com/blog/
 * Here you go please:
 *     ```
       User www-data
       Group www-data
   
       AccessFileName .htaccess
       <FilesMatch "^\.ht">
           Require all denied
       </FilesMatch>
   
       <Directory />
         Options FollowSymLinks
         AllowOverride All
       </Directory>
       ```

 * Let me try doing that but just one question. Can’t i just do the below and i 
   will be able to give this power to all the subdirectories under www? After all
   that is the public_html folder.
 *     ```
       <Directory /hg/www/>
       AllowOverride All
       </Directory>
       ```

 * tell me about this new web host… If it’s shared hosting, have you contacted tech
   support there? If you’re running your own VPS, are you using apache or nginx?

 * Here is all the information I have.
    Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu
   15.04 (GNU/Linux 3.19.0-30-generic x86_64) Release: 15.04 Codename: vivid
 * This is a dedicated hosting and not shared. Also we are using apache2 i.e. probably
   httpd and not ngnix.

 * You shoud probably get together with the sysadmin as there’s something not right
   with your http configuration.
