Hey there, i made a webserver ubuntu 16.04/php7 default install with virtualmin/webmin, i created virtual servers for every single websites. Automatically was installed websites in /home directory. After installing wordpress for all websites when i change permalinks to post-name i get errors on post's links , but home page works ok. From what i searched on web for last 2 days, i found out that /etc/apache2/apach2.conf shows directories was set for /var/www and my sites are isntalled by virtualmin to home/tld.xxx/public_html This is my output of last lines in apache2

It seems header is not working properly, i installed it and restarted apache and still doesnt work. The only one option to work if i put /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ custom or plain /?p=123 permalinks. I really want postname for permalinks to be seo friendly. Anyone got these problems here? Is there a fix?
OMG, i solved so simple that permalink. Seems is a wordpress bug for new mysql 5.7 , when u hit save after changing permalink option it will mess the tables in mysql. The most easy fix after 3 days of searching and testing solutions. Nothing works. Here is the miracle.
Note: when u change to sample-post DO NOT HIT SAVE BUTTON. First u hit default option or simple option mark then mark the permalink for post-name and then hit save button. Try several times to switch those radio buttons. It seems this is a bug for manual installing wordpress with php 7 and mysql 5.7.
I know this is old but has anyone else found a solution to this? Ubuntu 16.04 Php 7.0 Wordpress Permalinks stuck and 404 page not working unless plain option is selected.
