Well I changed the default directory of my apache server to /var/www and it still takes me straight to my engineering blog – but I can at least now access https://www.engineers-brain-dump.co.uk/guitar/wp-admin and start setting up the second blog.

I’ve changed the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default, all references to AllowOverride are now ‘All’. Still no dice ??

I’ll have to keep digging for now – thanks for the pointers so far.

Ok – thanks ??

I’m just looking up AllowOverride etc, my server’s httpd.conf file is blank – should this be the case?

I’ve just tried postname, and I get exactly the same thing ??

[Tue May 07 21:24:00 2013] [error] [client 5.65.18.60] File does not exist: /var/www/wordpress/how-to-make-your-own-button-in-phpbb-reply-editor

How can I rule out either? Any ideas? If it’s taking me to the permalink and not finding the file which part is to blame?

I used the setting ‘month and name’, and then copied the modification to my .htaccess file like the admin panel told me to. It couldn’t write to the file so I did it manually. Restarted apache2, made sure mod_rewrite was running and bam, 404 ??

Yeah I changed it back to default so I could edit some posts. I’ll change it back to broken for a while if you want to see it break. Any post or category links break and bring a 404 error.

***EDIT***

I’ve set it back to ‘month and name’, click any category or post and it breaks although the home page works.
