   I feel like I have read every blog or post on this topic but there are so many out there... I still seem to be missing SOMETHING.I don't know what. My site is hosted on Amazon EC2.

   My mod rewrite module is definitely working. I used to have the following in my .htaccess to no avail:

   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   Then, I did "chmod -v 666 .htaccess" to make sure WordPress could accesss it.

   My /etc/apache2/sites-available/default looks like this

   DocumentRoot /var/www
   <Directory />
   Options FollowSymLinks
   # AllowOverride FileInfo
   </Directory>
   <Directory /var/www/>
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   # AllowOverride FileInfo
   Order allow,deny
   allow from all
   </Directory>

   And my /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default looks like this, due to the advice of another thread

   <Directory />
   Options FollowSymLinks
   # AllowOverride FileInfo
   </Directory>
   <Directory /var/www/>
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   # AllowOverride FileInfo
   Order allow,deny
   allow from all
   </Directory>

   When I restarted Apache, all the text listed above in my .htaccess disappeared and pretty permalinks still do not work. Any one know what I should do next????
