 * Hi I am having a little problem after using permalinks, the https version of 
   the site shows the Apache start page. On the http version, the site and all permalinks
   work fine. I also want to say that without using permalinks, the site on http
   and https works well. I am using CentOS 8
 * My .htaccess
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * My httpd.conf
 *     ```
       IncludeOptional conf.d/*.conf
       <VirtualHost *:443>
           DocumentRoot "/var/www/wordpress"
           ServerAlias www.example.com
           <Directory "/var/www/wordpress">
               allow from all
               Options None
               Require all granted
           </Directory>
           SSLEngine on
           SSLProtocol +TLSv1.1 +TLSv1.2
           SSLCertificateFile /var/ssls/cazzy_store.crt
           SSLCertificateKeyFile /var/ssls/cazzy.key
           SSLCACertificateFile /var/ssls/cazzy_store.ca-bundle
       </VirtualHost>
       ```

 * Add :AllowOverride All” to the <Directory” block for the VirtualHost. The default
   is “none”, so .htaccess is ignored. Restart/reload Apache after making the change.

 * .htaccess file is not being ignored, but I added your rule to the code anyway,
   and unfortunately this did not solve the problem
 * My site – [http://cazzy.store/](http://cazzy.store/)
 * My site with https – [https://cazzy.store/](https://cazzy.store/)

 * I solved the problem by adding this to my .htaccess file
 *  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On Options +FollowSymLinks </IfModule
