# Permalink doesn't work on bitnami

 * I’ve just installed wordpress throug bitnami (both as standalone and module on
   Lamp stack) and I’ve always the same problems: permalinks don’t work. Everything
   works fine with standard (ugly) permalinks, but I get 404 if I try to change 
   them (in order to use buddypress).
 * Does anybody know how to solve the problem?

 * mm.. I probably found what was wrong: is needed to change this file:
    (bitnamiLampstack)/
   apps/wordpress/conf/wordpress.conf
 * and modify this line:
    AllowOverride None to: AllowOverride All
 * I’ve tried to do that but I’ve changed so many settings that now I get a “Forbidden”
   error.. 🙁
 * Anyway I solved this way:
    1) I installed my own Lamp without bitnami; 2) I enabled
   mod rewrite with “sudo a2enmod rewrite” 3) enabled rewrite for the directory:
   edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and add: <Directory /var/www/wordpress/
   > ### or whatever ### Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride
   All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> 4) restarted apache: “sudo /
   etc/init.d/apache2 restart” 5) .. it works!! 😀
