How to run wordpress website on AWS?

Question

I have transferred a wordpress website on AWS (EC2 and RDS-Mysql servers). The DNS has been setup in Route53.

The wordpress files has been located under directory:

/var/www/html

And the mysql database is imported on RDS. The home page looks fine but when I click on the other pages, it gives "404 not found" error. I have modified /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file to allow WordPress to use permalinks:

<Directory "/var/www/html">
AllowOverride All 

I have also checked the size of transferred files and they look as same as the main files.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can solve your problem by adding the below code in .htaccess file of your wordpress directory.

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

# END WordPress
