Permalinks on Wordpress EC2

Question

I have just transferred my blog from my local webserver to Amazon EC2 Free Linux server, Everything seems to be working now except for permalinks, I disabled and re-enabled them

Answer 1

For Ubuntu, change the "AllowOverride All" at the following location:

"The additional step I had to take was to edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.

In that file you'll find an AllowOverride setting for /var/www, saying "None".

Change the setting to say: AllowOverride All "
