strange default permalink structure

  • I am using a RHEL7 instance with default Apache, MySQL, and latest WordPress.
    For some reason by default the permalink structure is /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    If i change it to anything else it breaks the site and things start to 404.

    Thanks in advance for help / tips.

    In the virtual host configuration for your site (probably in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) add this

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

    then restart httpd

    By default AllowOverride is None, which causes httpd to ignore .htaccess

    That does not solve the problem. It still throws a 404 error when the link structure is updated even with a global override all like you suggested.

    Does anyone have any other thoughts?
