Wordpress on Ubuntu 12.10: permalinks problem

Question

I am running a backup of my website on Ubuntu 12.10 (apache+mysql). I can see properly admin and home page, but permalinks are not working (so urls like this are failing: localhost/page/.../).

What I did till now is:

1) Created file .htaccess via settings->permalinks with the content:

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

# END WordPress

2) Added rewrite apache module with:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

3) Changed in the file sites-enabled/000-default the row:

AllowOverride None

to:

AllowOverride All

4) Finally restarted apache with:

sudo service apache2 restart

Anyway I am still getting "not found" when I visit a permalink.

How can I make the permalinks work?

Answer 1

Check in a phpinfo() that the mod_rewrite works. Also refresh the permalinks in the backend. Permalinks works fine, also on Ubuntu 12.10.
