First of all, I've read many of your posts here Jeremy and I hope you know how grateful we are for your amazing contributions. You have helped more people than anyone could count. Thank you for everything.
Back to the problem: I'm very sorry for my major typo - I meant "mod_rewrite". Yes I have enabled it on both v. 13 and v.14. On the v.13 VM it made WordPress fresh install work perfectly. On the v. 14 VM, it made no difference. It is as if mod_rewrite isn't really "on" even though the OS reports it is, and phpinfo() reports it is.
Here is why I'm looking at the TurnKey LAMP VM as the culprit:
1. Each VM is an absollute vanilla fresh install of TurnKey LAMP; on the same host. (one VM is v.13 and the other is v.14)
2. Each VM has an absolute vanilla fresh install of the latest WordPress. nothing additional installed (no plugins, no additional configurations, etc).
3. On each VM I enabled mod_rewrite: (i.e.
a2enmod rewrite
service apache2 restart
4. Each VM / OS / phpinfo() subsequently reported the mod_rewrite was "on".
5. On each VM / WordPress - I changed the permalinks from "Plain" (?p=123) - to "Post Name" (%postname%)
6. After the permalink change, v.13 works just fine while v.14 still does not; it still reports an "HTTP 404" error on every page except the home page. All evidence points to mod_rewrite failure - but I can't figure out why.
