I had Settings -> Permalinks -> Post Name selected even before I created my first page.
I tried changing permalinks to Default type and then again back to Post name but it still did not work.
It started working after un-commenting #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so line in httpd.conf inside conf folder of apache configuration.
So basically, I had to turn on the mod_rewrite which was off by default.

I thought turning mod_rewrite on was needed only if the pages/posts were created using the Default type selected for permalinks and then later a change was required to make those permalinks Post name type.

Thanks for the reply genzki ?? and please correct me if got somrthing wrong here.

Thanks.

Yep, thanks a lot ??

Yep, those two links look like a must read. Thank again.

I use Apache 2.2 + PHP 5.3.10 + MySQL 5.5 all separately.
I also use phpmyadmin separately whenever needed.

Yep, I have never used mod_rewrite but I see its a handy engine for URL rewrites.

Many thanks for your suggestions.

Just a final question if I could ask, off topic though, How could make those permalinks human readable(E.g. Post name format in wordpress) once pages have already been made using the Default option of permalinks?

Again, thanks :).

After logging in and changing the permalinks setting back to default, the site is back again with admin panel working just fine.

Thanks a million ??

Ok, I think that was because I had theme-my-login plugin installed, which after removing from the plugin folder and trying to access https://localhost/mysite2/wp-admin I go get prompted for loggin back in.

Oh, again, am sorry, I just found an htaccess file inside my project folder.

Oh, I think admin panel should not have got affected due to changed settings in permalinks.

I am sorry, am very new to wordpress.

Why could I not get the login back back if changing permalinks setting shouldn’t have made any difference to admin panel?

I am working on the local computer, I don’t have the .htaccess file.

Thanks for the reply again keepsiemeijer.

No, I can’t login. When I try to access the page https://localhost/mysite2/wp-admin it redirects me to the page that should not be working because I had changed the permalinks setting from Default to Post name just before I changed the site URL.

??

Any change I could reset the the permalinks setting back to Default?

Update
https://localhost/mysite2/wp-admin was not working even before I changed the site URL because I had changed the permalinks setting from Default to Post name.

Thanks a ton keesiemeijer, the site is back.

But I am not able to any other page except the home page, I think that is because before changing the site URL I had changed the default permalinks settings to Post name setting, so I think unless I set that back to default as well I wont be able to access the site properly.

How could I set permalinks settings back to default?

Update
Could I change the permalinks setting somehow in any configuration file or database?
