Apache 2.2 -> 2.4: Permalinks broken.

    Hey guys, running WordPress on an AWS EC2 server. Had to install SSL, which required rolling Apache up from 2.2 to 2.4. That carried PHP up to 5.5, so I installed MySQLi. Got that all running after a day of troubleshooting.

    My homepage loads, but none of my other pages do. I can log into my admin, see/edit the pages, but they don’t show up at any of their links. My domain is: usethewall.com

    I’ve done a few modifications to my httpd.conf file:

    1) Changed AllowOverride <em>to</em> <strong>All</strong>

    2) Added:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

    After restarting httpd, I get a “Syntax error on line 191 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
    RewriteBase: only valid in per-directory config files” error.

    3) Tried: 

    <Directory /var/www/html/usethewall/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

    Nothing seems to be bringing my alternate links back. Welcoming all suggestions and help!

    Thanks.

    move that first block of code from httpd.conf to .htaccess in /var/www/html/usethewall or put in inside the <Directory> block.

    Thank you! As I had understood it, on AWS’s linux, all of the configs should be done in httpd.conf so I didn’t have an .htaccess file in the first place.

    Thanks again!
