Permalink not working. htaccess looks correct

    My url includes the index.php in my url. I have done a lot of research on this, and it looks like you need to update your htaccess file to include

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

    Then change the permalink setting to Post Name under the Permalink Settings in WP. I get the traditional “Page Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server” I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I know that Rewrite Engine is on and enabled on my server. Is there something that I’m missing?

    1) In your WordPress settings, revert back to the default permalink setup.

    2) Using FTP, delete your .htaccess file.

    3) Go back to WordPress settings, and select the permalink setting you want.

    4) Be sure to empty your browser cache, and your server cache (if you are using a caching plugin).

    Hi, I’m having this same problem.

    My website is opening but if I click on some link or blog of my website the message displayed is –
    Not Found

    The requested URL /folder/post-url/ was not found on this server.

    Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at mydomain.com Port 80

    I did search on here on forum and tried solutions like –
    1. Deleting the .htaccess file
    2. Resetting the Permalink to default
    3. Making the .htaccess writable

    None of the solutions is working.

    However on my native system and when deployed on Hostinger Server it works perfectly. But on my Cloud Server it is not working.

    Please help me.
