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

I had to use the AllowOverride All and Options +FollowSymLinks in more than one .conf file (and I also tried a2enmod rewrite while I was at it). But it was the last .conf file that was apparently controlling that directory (the .iso we used resulted in several with the same directory ... and the first one I changed had no effect). But once they ALL had both those settings the system began working.
