title: Wordpress “Post name” permalinks not working
body: <p>I have a Wordpress website running on Lamp Server on Ubuntu Server 14.04.
  I just tried to use the option for <code>Post Name</code> permalinks, and now my pages no longer load up.</p>
  
  <p>I turned on the <code>mod_rewrite</code> function of the Apache server, restarted it, but it still doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>Also, here's my <code>.htaccess</code> file:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-bsh prettyprint-override"><code># BEGIN WordPress
  &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
  &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  # END WordPress
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Note that the content of <code>/wordpress</code> folder has been put directly inside <code>/html</code>
  Let's say the name of my website is <code>mywebsite.com</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How can I make it work?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Here is my <code>/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf</code> file</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
      # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
      # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
      # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
      # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
      # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
      # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
      # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
      #ServerName www.example.com
  
      ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
      DocumentRoot /var/www/html
  
  
      # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
      # error, crit, alert, emerg.
      # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
      # modules, e.g.
      #LogLevel info ssl:warn
  
      ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
      CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
  
      # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
      # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
      # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
      # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
      # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
      #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
