A few days ago I tried transferring my wordpress website from shared hosting to vps but I've run into a problem.

After following many guides/tutorials and googling myself I can't figure out why it's not working. The homepage is the only page that loads all other pages 404. I've included some relevant files.

Does anyone have any ideas?

HTACCESS

httpd.conf

Thanks in advance

  1. Login to your wp-admin
  2. Go to Settings > Permalinks
  3. Don't make any changes, just click "Save Changes" button.

Your site's secondary page would work now.
