Permalink Structure questions

    I am attempting to setup postname permalinks on my site. Changing the permalinks in Settings->Permalinks doesn’t produce an error related to .htaccess as far as I can tell (it says permalink structure update). However the links that it generates 404 and are not really postnames. (For instance one of my posts was just domain.com/95 which 404’d.

    This is the contents of my .htaccess file

    
# 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

    I have verified mod rewrite is enabled.

    Not sure what I am missing here.

    Are you using a hosting company or hosting the site on your own VPS?

    I’m on my own VPS.

    In your http/apache config file, where you define the virtual host for your site, add this

    <Directory /path/to/wordpress>
  AllowOverride All
</Directory>

    then restart apache or httpd

    /path/to/wordpress is something like /var/www/html
