Allowing rewrite of permalinks on WordPress

posted this note on and tagged it with Narrating my work

Turns out the problem I was having with everything except the front page was due to permalink rewrites not working. It seems three things were incorrectly setup.

First, the WordPress folder wasn’t writable by the www-user.

Secondly, this needed to be done:

You have to edit the Apache conf file (in Ubuntu 14.04: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf) and change the AllowOverride setting from None to FileInfo

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride FileInfo
Require all granted
</Directory>

You may need to enable the Rewrite module:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

It appears things only semi-work on the new server. All the backend stuff works and the front page works but no other page or feed does. Strange.

Yep, the site is moved to the VPS now and it is indeed faster now than before.

Holy smokes, it seems like it worked!

DNS records are now changed. Waiting for propagation and trying not to bite my nails.

I’ve been putting off moving my main site from a shared host to a VPS for what feels like an eternity. I know I got to do it because it’ll make the site a lot faster and thereby making blogging more enjoyable.

Maybe tonight’s the night when I start the process?

As I’m moving away from Twitter, there are some things that have been locked in over there that I want to move over to my own blog. One such thing is a few screen shots from Breath of the Wild.

I still haven’t figured out a good way to ”Rube Goldberg” my tweets from the Switch to my blog. It’ll likely be something really low tech in the end.
