WordPress Migration: Getting 404 Errors: Only Home Page works

Question

I just migrated my ecommerce website (www.getfitkart.com) from shared hosting to Linode. Now only the home page is working but the other pages are not getting served. I am getting the following error on all other pages like say, http://www.getfitkart.com/privacy-policy/

Not Found
The requested URL /privacy-policy/ was not found on this server.

My .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteBase /
 RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
 </IfModule>

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I found the solution here:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/wordpress-permalinks-not-working-on-ubuntu-14-04

The thing is that we need to allow the override all option in httpd.conf (location: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) for your specific hosting directory.

Answer 2

Go to settings->permalinks and click on save button to rewrite flush. And then empty your browser cache. It'll work hopefully.

Answer 3

Sometimes on a new server it's just the rewrite module missing from Apache config.

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart

Answer 4

Solved this problem on Linux Mint 19 / PHP Version 7.2.19-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 by changing:

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
</Directory> 

to:

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

in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.

Hope this helps!

Dear friend after moving site : go to your phone admin Then choose your database. Click on wp-option Change raw 25 to 500 Change site url : http://www.yourwebsite.com search -- path : change path of your upload

Save it Login your site: www.yoursitename.com/wp-admin Go to settings Then go to Permalink Do not change anything Just Save it.

Now try your all page.
