Permalinks NOT working

[TMcCann]

Default links work just fine. When I enable permalinks the site breaks and I get 404 errors all over the place.

Hi,

The issue maybe come from your server

Yeah, its not the server. It’s funny because I’ve had this problem before, many times before! It has always been a wordpress installation. I host multiple websites from this same server. All apps built with the Laravel framework. All of them use mod- rewrite, all of them work flawlessly.

Any other suggestions?

My permissions for the .htaccess are just fine;

Here is the contents of my .htaccess file.

This is my /etc/apache2/sites-available/newlifebotanic.conf

Not sure what the issue is here.

I figured it out. For some reason I needed to edit the main /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file and add an entry for my working directory there. For some reason the conf file in sites-available wasn’t good enough for wordpress. Any idea why this is??
