In reply to: permalinks not working after following permalinks guide (404 error)jayseae,
Whew. I found it. The solution is really simple, but it took some digging around to find it. I’m going to blame my troubles on sleep deprivation and being a little rusty with Apache.
I’m using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. When I installed Apache, in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file the following existed:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>The AllowOverride None setting is what was clobbering my permalinks, even with the .htaccess file settings. My site is under /var/www/example.com/, so it was being affected.
When I changed the None to All, and restarted Apache (sudo service apache2 restart), everything worked beautifully.
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. I hope that others will find this post useful. For me it’s always the little gotchas that really slow me down.
On to blogging!

Thnaks for the reply. I tried all of your suggestions, but I am still getting the error. My guess is that it has something to do with my Apache and/or server setup and not necessarily the installation of WordPress itself.
I am going to keep searching. When I find the solution I will definitely reply back to this post. I definitely do not want other people running into this problem.
(I have been slow as well on getting this to work. I have a bunch of irons in the fire at the moment.)
