I wanted to use .htaccess in Lightsail, so I made a note of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To enable htaccess, you need to modify the following file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\/opt\/bitnami\/apps\/wordpress\/conf\/httpd-app.conf<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<Directory \"\/opt\/bitnami\/apps\/wordpress\/htdocs\">\n Options +MultiViews +FollowSymLinks\n # AllowOverride None \u2190disable THIS\n AllowOverride All \u2190Add this\n <IfVersion < 2.3 >\n Order allow,deny<\/pre>\n\n\n\nAfter fixing the above, restart apache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ sudo \/opt\/bitnami\/ctlscript.sh restart apache<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reason I wanted to use this was because I added the Bogo plugin to build a multilingual site with WordPress, but the URL of the multilingualized site was https:\/\/xxxx.xx\/, while I wanted the language name to be a subdirectory, like https:\/\/xxxx.xx\/en\/123 The reason for this is that the URL of the multilingualized site is now like ?lang=en, when I wanted it to be like with the language name as a subdirectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this reason, after enabling the use of .htaccess in the above steps, make the .htaccess file writable with the following command, and then run<\/p>\n\n\n\nchmod 666 \/apps\/wordpress\/htdocs\/.htaccess
I made this possible by setting [Settings]-[Permalinks] in the WordPress admin panel as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\/%year%\/%monthnum%\/%day%\/%post_id%<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the above settings, change the permissions back to the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
chmod 644 \/apps\/wordpress\/htdocs\/.htaccess<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
