Permalinks don't work on my wordpress installed on a VPS

Hi guys,

I have a VPS with LAMP installed, on which I run several websites, each of them redirected via CNAME to a subfolder /site-1.

One of these websites is a wordpress. I’m trying to activate permalinks for my pages. Following the directions of this tutorial I’ve tried to modify the config of the apache2/sites-available/domain.com file to change the AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All.

I’m still getting the same 404 error :

The requested URL /page-name/ was not found on this server.

I’ve checked on my FTP, my .htaccess file exists and has the correct permalink redirect:

# 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

The only way I’ve managed to activate permalinks is by putting index.php/ before it:

mywebsite.com/index.php/page-1/

Any idea on how to fix this? Would be immensely grateful, I’ve been trying to make this work for hours now!

Thanks in advance,

Arthur
