After migrating a website to a local host for example, and you find that only thing that works is the home page, any subpages give you a not found message. Something that might occur with any site. We compiled some steps for you to fix that situation:
1. Permalinks update
In WordPress goto the settings/permalinks this will regenerate your .htaccess page
2. Change AllowOverride
Within finder goto : /etc/apache2
Open : httpd.conf
Change AllowOverride none to AllowOverride All
Change de Virtual Directory to which your folder belongs add:
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents"> # # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All", # or any combination of: # Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews # # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All" # doesn't give it to you. # # The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#options # for more information. # Options FollowSymLinks Multiviews MultiviewsMatch Any # # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files. # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords: # AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # AllowOverride All # # Controls who can get stuff from this server. # Require all granted </Directory>
