      Also check and make sure AllowOverride is set correctly.

      Sure seems to be.

              You should look at the mod_rewrite rules. It's pretty obvious that the problem lies with the url rewriting.

              Either the reverse proxy is wrongly configured or the apache webserver.

              Actually it's probably best to follow the entire chain. Remember that you can active the rewrite modules logging as well.

              A small thing like using a different directory will make the rewrite rules invalid.

                That's a script that enables the mod_rewrite module in apache - apache2 enable module.

                  It's what enables rewrite to work at all.

                    Ok ensure .htaccess file is present and has good permission

                    try chmod something open to the docroot and chown like www-data:www-data for whole docroot just for test

                    Use wordpress cli to change the site URL home and URL address to the correct values after site move
                    define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://example.com' );
                    define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://example.com' )

                    You can use the portable phar
                    https://gist.github.com/pcsontos/122fceb3d6e6e43da98d
                    wp-cli.phar option update home 'http://example.com'
                    wp-cli.phar option update siteurl 'http://example.com'

                      Ah, so the problem was just that the mod_rewrite module wasn't enabled in Apache.

                      It's the LoadModule entries in the httpd.conf file that tells Apache which modules to load. Using a2enmod is mostly for convenience.

                          Right, coming from doing this in Fedora regularly, it didn't occur to me that there was a manual step as Fedora defaults to turning that on.
