I have installed wordpress several times before but I could not fix 404 error on my permalink this time. :S I tried everything I could search to fix it but I still need some help!

Environment:
Ubuntu 14.04

My wordpress files are located in a virtual host folder
/home/site.com/www

in apache2.conf

<Directory />
	Options FollowSymLinks
	AllowOverride None
	Require all denied
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share>
	AllowOverride None
	Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/>
	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
	AllowOverride None
	Require all granted
</Directory>

in site.com.config

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/home/site.com/www"
ServerName www.site.com
<Directory "/home/site.com/www">
allow from all
Options None
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

in .htaccess

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

rewrite mod is running
and apache2 was restarted.

But the browser still shows 404 error..

Please give me some tips!!

When I changed my site’s permalinks to postname:
/%postname%/

i got this error when opening any page or post: Error occurred: 404 – not found

I have tried to delete the .htaccess -file and to change the permalink-setting, clicked save and changed it again to postname and clicked save. After this the .htaccess-file is created again:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

But this does not help. I have also changed back to Twenty fourteen -theme and deactived all the plugins and created a new .htaccess -file after this. Still no success. I also tried to rename the plugin-folders.

Any ideas what to try next?

stepquick asked me “What happens when you use the default permalinks?”

I replied “When I change to default permalinks, all my posts, categories and tags show me 404 Not Found”

But actually when I change back to default permalinks everything works fine.

Could anyone help me?

I’m not sure why this only happens for posts but not pages and have reviewed the Permalink codex as I assume this where the solution lies?

Thanks in advance.
