wordpress permalinks not working – htaccess seems ok but getting 404 error on pages

For other people landing on this page –
Another issue could be (If you are using Apache as your web server) is your httpd.conf or your sites-available/sitename.conf file needs editing.

Your web directory will need to allow the .htaccess file to override it’s settings.

look for your web dir in the file – it will be in the bulk of the conf file or segregated into a VirtualHost section.

<Directory /path/to/site>
     #add the following setting to allow .htaccess in your web dir to work
     AllowOverride FileInfo

     #other settings ---

</Directory>

This will allow you to set up WordPress URLs however you want, within WordPress.

***Edited – Thank You nietonfir For update. Use the least amount of privilege at first. If this doesn’t work then replace AllowOverride FileInfo with AllowOverride All
