    I have a fresh local WordPress 4.2.2 installation with twenty fifteen theme and no plugins installed with two pages Test and welcome. when I change the permalink to anything but the default it shows error 404.

    * I have tried reinstalling WordPress from wp-admin
    * Apache2 mod_rewrite is enabled
    * deleted .htaccess, on save WordPress creates a new file and says permalink structure updated.

    when I try opening anything but the home page it shows the 404 error

    when I change the permalink to anything but the default it shows error 404.

    If the default setting works, then try reading Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure again.

    If clearing your Permalinks does not alleviate the issue, this could be attributed to anything from a web server configuration to a bad WordPress install.

    I managed to get this working
    Reference for anyone else who has the same issue.

    Apache uses /etc/apache2/apache2.conf as well as the enabled-sites
    add the following to apache2.conf

    <Directory /path/to/blogsite/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all denied
<Directory>

    (change /path/to/blogsite/ to your own path)
