  • I’ve struggled with this for a couple of days and finally got it to work using exactly the same steps as the poster above but with the addition of one step:

    4b) edit the .htaccess file generated by wordpress and add the line Options +Followsymlinks so that the first three lines of this file now read:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options +Followsymlinks
    RewriteEngine On

    (There’s no point adding this line before WP updates the .htaccess file: you addition will just be overwritten.)

    This is assuming of course that Apache is configured to allow .htaccess files. You need AllowOverride to be set to All in your /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and .htaccess to be defined as the name of the file that can override the default settings. The section should look something like this:

    <Directory />
    Options None
    AllowOverride All
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    </Directory>

    # use .htaccess files for overriding,
    AccessFileName .htaccess

    Hope this helps someone
