[Feature Request]: Enable `mod_write` for apache2

[TheFes]

The request

I've setup a Wordpress website on the apache2 add-on but to be able to use the page names in the url, mod_write needs to be enables (see https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/167144/wordpress-permalinks-not-working-in-apache2-ubuntu-14-04)

So I want to use https://webiste.com/page_name/ instead of https://website.com/?p=24

Is it possible to enable this?

For which Add-On

Apache2

This is already supported, see here: https://github.com/FaserF/hassio-addons/tree/master/apache2#authentification-for-your-website

And with a custom Apache2 config file: https://github.com/FaserF/hassio-addons/tree/master/apache2#option-default_conf--default_ssl_conf

Those two files need to be created by yourself :)

I'm a bit confused, isn't that authentication section referring to authentication for visitors of the website?

My Wordpress website works, but if I enable the permalink setting to use page names, I get errors when I try to visit the respective page, because the rewrite from Wordpress doesn't work.

Note that I don't have a lot of knowledge about all of this, so I might be missing something here :)

Since I dont use wordpress right now, I am not sure what exactly is required. This was just what I thought from the link you provided. They mention that .htaccess is needed (which is explained in the first link from me) and in the answer a user says, that "AllowOverride" is set to All in the Apache2 Config file (which is explained in the second link). I hope that helps. Maybe give it a try with changing the apache2 config file.

[TheFes]

okay, thanks, that makes it a bit more clear :)

Okay, I enabled get_config for the default_conf parameter. Which downloaded a httpd.conf in the /share folder

According to the docs I have to change path/to/your/new/apache2.conf, but I don't know where to find that.

[FaserF]

You can edit the https conf and rename it. Then you can store it for example at /share/apache2.conf and put that path to the default_conf option.

[TheFes]

ah okay, thanks!

Thanks for your answers so far, seems I need to dig a bit more in how to setup this file before I can get it working.
