OS 6.4.2 apache2 rewrite problem when using WordPress.
I have read https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/OS-6-1-4-apache2-mod-rewrite-htaccess-problem/m-p/896062#M49808, but I still am confused, probably since that post refers to an earlier ReadyNAS OS, and/or Apache is installed differently.
I believe that I should edit the file /apps/wordpress/http.conf, and change the 'AllowOveriride none' to 'AllowOveriride FileInfo Options', in 2 places.
I would appreciate a confirmation on this as I find Apache quite confusing as to what to change where and there are multiple options (with lots of opportunity to screw up).
That file mention above currently contains
Listen 7095
<VirtualHost *:7095>
ServerAdmin admin@localhost
DocumentRoot /apps/wordpress/web
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /apps/wordpress/web/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog /apps/wordpress/error.log
LogLevel warn
</VirtualHost>Comments please, especially if you have implemented WordPress yourselves on the ReadyNAS.
Thanks in advance

Well I waited to find out if anybody tried this or could comment .... nothing (Yes, I know I'm impatient)
So I tried the change to the 'http.conf' file as above AND followed it with 'service apache2 restart'.
Nope - no different, (and just to be safe I made a copy of the original file to stop that being a problem)
I really am up against the wall now ...
ANY HELP APPRECIATED - Please.
cont ...
discovered that there is a 'https.conf' file as well as a 'http.conf' file in the same folder - arggh I think I may have solved it.
(nobody seems to mention the secure version, but what the hell, I'm on a roll .....)
So do the same thing in that file, and no luck.
Reboot both the ReadyNAS and my PC, also clear the cache on my PC ... still no luck.
so it's still ANY HELP APPRECIATED - Please.
cont ... (for the benefit of others coming after me with the same problem)
I want to check (again) that I have the 'mod_rewrite' module loaded.
As I already know about using 'phpinfo', I check that and show the appropriate bit below.

I have no idea whether the other bits and pieces are right, but I do have the mod_rewrite module loaded.
So now off to check the internet some more ... this could be a long night.
