mod_rewrite does not work, tried everything

Hello,

I have stumbled upon mod_rewrite module of Apache for my WordPress installation (v2.6.2) for LAMP but I could not figured out how to get it work. My detailed configuration is here: php_info()

First of all, I have successfully activated mod_rewrite module.

I activated it with this code:

cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
sudo ln -s ../mods-available/rewrite.load ./

and checked if it has been installed with this

a2enmod
rewrite

Secondly, I have followed the guide “http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite/” and got into apache2 configuration file which stays in “/etc/apache2/apache2.conf” .. I have added these lines for making sure of my .htaccess file’s guideness is accepted by apache.

<Directory “/var/www/html”>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

Third, I have created a writable .htaccess file to let WordPress engine write its own htaccess itself. I have checked it several times and I am sure that it is right in right shape. Which is: (my wordpress installation is in the root of the server)

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

After that I was expecting to see the sweet permalink structure of the WordPress which is relies on the mod_rewrite module but sadly I got “Not found” error for permalink URL’s.

Double checked everything I did and decided to try last thing for it. I have added this line to my apache2 configuration file;

LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so

I have restarted apache after every step to see if something changed.
The big sad problem is I still can not use permalink structure.. mod_rewrite does not work at all..

Please help.
