AWS Amazon Linux: pretty permalinks not working 404 error

Perhaps this is not the right place to put this question, so sorry for that. I posted the question on AWS forum as well as on Stack Overflow. But unfortunately I did not get any reply!

I have put my WordPress installation inside /var/www/html/cooking folder under a Amazon Linux instance. Homepage of the site is http://54.165.84.82 , which runs ok, but http://54.165.84.82/cooking/hello-world/ gives me 404.

I have modified /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. It now looks like:

ServerRoot "/etc/httpd/"
Listen 80
Include conf.modules.d/*.conf
User apache
Group apache
ServerAdmin root@localhost
<Directory>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
<Directory "/var/www">
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/html/cooking">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

.htaccess file inside /var/www/html/cooking:

# 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

Please help!
