wordpress backup problems with rewrite

I set up my new word press to my new Silent Server, after I moved the database and the ftp folder I had some troubles with the permalinks, this shows how to solve them.

Set Rights

navigate to your www folder, my one is at “/var/www”, then set the rigthts, user and the group:

chmod -R 755 ./
chown -R www-data:www-data ./

Set rewrite

now I check if rewrite is enabled:

a2enmod rewrite

now open apache2.conf with:

nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

and add this line:

LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so

now open sites-available/default with:

nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

and change this:

        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

to this:

        <Directory /var/www/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

After you made your changes restart your web server:

service apache2 restart
