    I’ve changed my Permalinks within WordPress’s settings, and I can see that the .htaccess file is being updated and its contents are changing. However, when I try browsing to an existing post using the new structure, I get an “HTTP 404 Not Found” error.

    Is there some long process I’m missing or something?

    I’m running WordPress 3.7.1, with the latest version of Apache and on Ubuntu 13.10 (32-bit).

    Are you using any cache plugins?

    Tried several browsers and clearing cache as well.

    Not sure what you mean by cache plugins. Here are all the plugins I’m using:

    Akismet
    Corpo Toolkit
    Hello Dolly
    Optimize Database after Deleting Revisions
    Shareaholic | share buttons, analytics, related content
    Social Login
    Tweet, Like, Google +1 and Share
    YouTube

    How do I clear sever cache? I don’t have a wp-cache directory within my wp-content directory.

    Thanks for your reply.

    From the list doesn’t look like you are using any cache plugin.

    -Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting and renaming your WordPress .htaccess file. If that works, then try reading Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure again.
    If clearing your Permalinks does not alleviate the issue, this could be attributed to anything from a web server configuration to a bad WordPress install.

    It always works when it’s set to Default. I’ve tried deleting the .htaccess files before coming here too and letting WordPress re-create it, but that didn’t help either.

    Got it working. Here are the steps I had to tak

    1. I had to enter “a2enmod rewrite” in terminal to get Apache2 to enable the rewrite module.
    2. I had to add the following to my virtualhost file:

    <Directory /var/www/wordpress>
    AllowOverride all
    </Directory>

    Restarted apache after committing those changes and all is working perfectly fine now.

    Thanks again for your help.
