Thanks but something else. This is Centos so that A2 module doesn’t exist. Problem was in the httpd.conf there is a specific location where the OverrideAllow All has to go. I had it in the Virtual Host section so no workey.. All fixed and rewriting… * Problem solved solution fixed. Human ignorance though that conf file is super long. I also needed in the default Centos Apache install add in the DOM module for SEO Yoast to php.ini to wrap up detail.
