Configure permalinks on your local server for wordpress.

Now you can create new file like as wp.conf and open any editor.

root@Wordpress:~#  vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/wp.conf

Insert below all lines into wp.conf file.

<Directory /var/www/html/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

Step #02: Now restart your web server details below:

root@Wordpress:~# a2ensite wp.conf
root@Wordpress:~# service apache2 reload
root@Wordpress:~# a2enmod rewrite
root@Wordpress:~# systemctl restart apache2
