I’m running Apache 2.4 on a FreeBSD 10.2 box. In the default /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf, this line is commented out:

# LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache24/mod_rewrite.so

So I just uncommented it and kicked the daemon. That did the trick.

Hrm, very odd: I made no updates, changes, or reconfigurations of my server’s Apache daemon. The default httpd.conf has the rewrite module unloaded, but for some reason that was working fine under WordPress 4.3. Upgraded to 4.4, and no more rewrite without that module enabled.

As soon as I enabled the module in the site’s httpd.conf, the Permalinks started working again.

Interesting.

As a (useless?) follow-up – the default “ugly” links work just fine. It’s just the rewrite thing that appears to be mucked up.

I’m in the same boat, but updating to a default theme didn’t fix it for me. Nothing works other than to remove the permalinks and use the default “ugly” ones.

Would love some guidance here. ??
