How to remove 'index.php' from permalinks [WordPress on Composer]


I have local server, on which I'm running WordPress with Composer.

After database migration from my local to AWS RDS, the permalinks changed it's behaviour: now there's 'index.php' in the beginning of tags, like:

http://example.com/index.php/name-of-page

Also, in the wp-admin->Settings->Permalinks the structure is custom now:

/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

Details about my local server:


What I have tried:

http://dejanjanosevic.info/remove-index-php-permalink-in-wordpress/

http://derekmolloy.ie/remove-index-php-from-your-wordpress-url/


What are the results?

Modyfying .htaccess has no effect - just ends in 404, the only links that work are still the ones that include /index.php/. Updating permalinks from WordPress has same result.

I'm running out of ideas here.


Solution

  • I've got it.

    For anyone looking for a solution to the same problem, here's guide:

    1. Change permalink settings in wp-admin to pretty permalinks

    2. Install mod_rewrite module in apache

    3. The most important part, in etc/apache/apache2.conf (NOTE THAT YOU MUST CHANGE THE NAME OF FOLDER):

       <Directory />
           Options FollowSymLinks
           AllowOverride All
           Require all denied
        </Directory>
      
        <Directory /usr/share>
           AllowOverride None
           Require all granted
        </Directory>
      
        <Directory /var/www/>
           Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
           AllowOverride All
           Require all granted
        </Directory>
      
        #<Directory /srv/>
        #  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        #  AllowOverride None
        #  Require all granted
        #</Directory>
      
        <Directory "/var/www/html/NAME_OF_YOUR_PROJECT_FOLDER">
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        </Directory>*
      
    4. Restart apache
