God yeah!

Another <Directory /var/www/> was hidden in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default! I just #-ed that single line, and then the permalinks worked like a charm. Should I comment everything of it? It looks like this right now:

<Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
#               AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
                # This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
                # in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
                # RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
        </Directory>

Thank you very much for your time and effort!

> So you still see the default server 404 page?
Yep, but after doing the ErrorDocument-thingy directly in httpd.conf it works just like you hope. So I imagine it only has problems to read the .htaccess-files?

EDIT: The apache2.conf says AccessFileName .htaccess, so that should not be the problem.

Not even this is working. So, my .htaccess-file is not being read?

everly:~# a2enmod rewrite
This module is already enabled!
everly:~#

How could this be?

1) Yes, I’ve tried to restart Apache after every move I’ve made, without any affection. My httpd.conf still looks like this:

<Directory /var/www>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

(Can you please double check if there is anything missing/typos/etc? I’ve edited this file myself. Or more correctly, pasted it from somewhere on Google.)

2) No, actually not. Nothing of what you’ve told me to do has worked. Is this a symptom of a not working rewrite engine? As I mentioned in a previous post, I get an error if adding LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so to the httpd.conf file. The error message is this:

everly:/var/www# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Forcing reload of web server (apache2)...[Tue Jan 08 21:09:07 2008] [warn] module rewrite_module is already loaded, skipping
 waiting [Tue Jan 08 21:09:09 2008] [warn] module rewrite_module is already loaded, skipping
.
everly:/var/www#

3) As you see in my httpd.conf shown above /var/www/ is specified. This is also where I keep my WordPress-installation, so yes, WordPress’ index.php is in the right directory. Because I have not bought a new domain yet, the “Blog Address” in General Options only shows my IP (with the https://). I guess there is no need for a domain to get this working? I’m most likely to buy it this week, though. I’m also sure the .htaccess file is located correctly (in /var/www/ – right?).

Your last suggestion also failed. Nothing but the same error message were the output.

Not Found

The requested URL /test was not found on this server.

Thank you so much for your time! I hope I can get this working soon.

This seems to work, so I can’t understand anything but the fact that the mod_rewrite module is active.

Suggestions?

I’m not getting a server error after doing this (where was I supposed to see anything, by the way?), except from the “Not Found”-error mentioned above.

This is my personal server which I got full root access to. It’s running Debian Etch, Apache2 and PHP5 – if that matters. ??

I see the server default “Not Found” page, like this:

Not Found

The requested URL /uncategorized/hello-world was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) PHP/5.2.0-8+etch9 Server at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Port 80

Yes, I chmod’ed the .htaccess-file so WordPress could edit the file. The file is now containing this:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Thank you very much for help. ??
