LAMP WordPress Permalinks 404 error

Question

I have an Ubuntu 16 VPS running (LAMP) Apache+WordPress .

the permalinks are not functioning properly as i'm receiving 404 errors.

Hello, the following .htaccess files exist on the server:

/var/www/html/wp-snapshots/.htaccess /var/www/html/wp-includes/.htaccess /var/www/html/.htaccess /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/litespeed-cache/lib/vendor/mrclay/minify/.htaccess

/var/www/html/.htaccess contains, the code below.

The WordPress settings are also set to " Post name ", and the url is still returning a 404 error: http://45.77.185.160/change-your-booking/?booking_hash=42fc52073d89cce21451a2b2e71e1f1a&booking_pay=1

Create .htaccess file in your WordPress folder and put below values:

# 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
