I have a running CentOS 7 with Apache 2 mariadb stack with vhosts and Let's Encrypt. I've installed WordPress 4.9.6 on a virtual host using debian style (sites-available -> sites-enabled).
My problem is that I cannot use permalinks. I copy my server configuration below.
getenforce
Disabled
/etc/httpd/sites-available/example.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example
ServerAlias example
DocumentRoot /var/www/example/public_html

</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I've enable permalinks settings on WordPress admin:

Permissions of .htaccess file are:

Reset to default 2For the next person, be sure to set AllowOverride All in the correct directory. In Damon's case he set AllowOverride All in the /var/www/html directory, but his site is located in /var/www/example/public_html. I could be wrong, but the AllowOverride setting is specific to the directory. Damon should add the AllowOverride All setting to the /etc/httpd/sites-available/example.conf and /etc/httpd/sites-available/example-le-ssl.conf files. Without this setting the .htaccess file wordpress uses will work.
