Hi there! Welcome to my blog. My name is Ivan. I am a Dutch IT Professional working as Principal IT Consultant. How to enable mod_write module in Apache2 installation with Ubuntu (JeOS 8.04)?
Login with root
ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ --> this will create a symbolic link to load the mod_write module vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default --> open the default enabled site configuration
Locate AllowOverride which is set by default to none and change it to all. Save and exit with !wq
<Directory /home/adminversl/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride all Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory>
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart --> restart the Apache2 daemon and test the module.
During the migration from hosted WordPress installation to a local installation this module was not enabled by default. Make sure to change the Permalinks in WP-Admin/Settings/Permalinks to default and reset to your own redirection. Another hint is to change the .htaccess permission to 777.
