    Pinoy, I’m not sure what you mean by wrong directives… but changing the WP and Blog urls to not include www seemed to work. After subtracting ‘www’ from the Settings > General, every permalink and default structure works.

    I found this idea from searching for a different problem (which is still unfixed at the moment):

    I’m really not interested in messing around further with apache configs, even though I can tell it to write to a log… but they were copied over from a previously working server. There’s just some minor glitch that I’m overlooking or maybe the new upgrade did something to make it not like ‘www’.

    Although mod_rewrite was not initially installed I proceeded to successfully install it via a2enmod (I checked /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ and it’s there like it should be), and yet after restarting apache2 and clearing out all the browsing cache, history, cookies, etc.. the same problem is persisting.

    Folks, this is a permissions error. I ran into the same problem tonight and after a bit of searching found that I needed to change my root directory (where my installation is held – mine is /var/web/) and all of its contents to www-data via:

    • chown -R www-data:www-data /var/web/

    Once that’s done, to prevent misuse, I set the default permissions back to their original state (giver ownership back the correct user), similar to above:

    • chown -R user:user /var/web/

    Worked for me. Check out the post made by ‘syngadget’ I found at:
