Permalinks don't work – they give 404 errors

  • Greetings,
    I just moved my blog to a new server, and it turns out that now all the permalinks don’t work. It gives a 404 file not found error message.
    I’ve tried to replace the .htaccess file with a fresh one, but nothing happened.

    The blog is here: https://journal.akb48.org

    Thanks!

    Can you confirm that mod_rewrite is enabled on your server?

    Thank you for the response! My server uses nginx instead of apache, and enabling nginx’ equivalent of mod_rewrite (http_rewrite_module) solved the permalinks problem.

    The problem now is that it can’t load the theme and I can’t log in to the wordpress dashboard.

    The code I added to enable http_rewrite_module is

    if (!-e $request_filename){
        rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
        break;
        }

    Simply USE a redirect plugin for get rid of 404 error.
    All you have to do is installing a redirect plugin and put your old permalinks structure. Then all your links automatically redirect to new permalink structure without 404 error.

    Unfortunately, now I completely can’t log in to the wordpress dashboard. Even after removing the previous http_rewrite_module code, the site give me Error 404 – Not Found when I tried to log in.

    Help please?

    By the way, the wp-login.php works fine. wp-admin is the one that gives 404 error
